비접촉 선형 영구자석 기어는 직선 추력을 요구하는 반송 장치에서 모터의 회전운동을 직선 운동으로 변환하는 기계적인 변환 장치와 달리 마찰에 의한 손실과 소음 및 진동이 적고 윤활유와 유지 보수가 불필요하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 물리적 접촉 방식을 사용하는 기계적인 변환장치에 비해 비접촉 방식을 사용하는 영구자석 기어는 상대적으로 낮은 전달추력능력을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비접촉 선형 영구자석 기어의 양측 가동자 사이에서 추력을 전달하는 Pole Piece의 특성을 파악하고, Pole Piece형상의 제안 및 최적 설계를 통해 낮은 전달추력능력을 향상시키고자 한다.

Magnetic gear can transmit torque without any mechanical contact among rotational parts in rotating mechanical systems. Especially, magnetic gear using rare-earth PMs can be used in variety of industry application because of their great power efficiency. Thus, recent trend shows that magnetic gear can be replaced with common mechanical gear. This paper deals with comparison and torque analysis for magnetic gears with parallel and Halbach magnetization according to various design parameters. Using a two dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) analysis, suitable gear ratio is selected. We performed analysis for magnetically connected inner and outer torque with respect to various design parameters including thickness of inner and outer PM, steel pole angle, segments of Halbach array and magnetization pattern of inner and outer PMs. Finally, we can obtain improved design model having parallel and Halbach magnetization with larger torque, compared with an initial design model.

This paper introduces a study on an electromagnet magnetic gear designed for gear ratio conversion. In comparison to magnetic gears using permanent magnets, this electromagnet magnetic gear exhibits lower torque density, highlighting the need for torque density improvement. To address this, the research focuses on enhancing torque density by examining the consistent orientation of each rotor's magnetization during gear ratio conversion and attaching permanent magnets accordingly. However, an issue arises due to the uneven magnetic flux density caused by the non-uniform attachment of permanent magnets, leading to an increase in torque ripple. Therefore, building upon previous studies aimed at reducing torque ripple in electromagnet magnetic gears, this research explores the optimal methods, such as pole piece bridges and fillet configurations, to mitigate torque ripple even during gear ratio conversion.

The non-contact permanent magnet gear has advantages of high efficiency and improved reliability. It has other advantages of no mechanical friction loss, very little noise and vibration, and no need for lubricant. With these advantages, the non-contact permanent magnet gear that solves the physical contact problem of the mechanical gear has drawn attention. Due to this unique non-contact characteristic, the non-contact permanent magnet gear which is capable of non-contact torque transmission has replaced mechanical gear. The mechanical gears which is in many fields of the modern industry, is used mostly for power transmitting mechanical devices. However, it also has the problem of a low torque density, which requires improvement. In this paper, a novel pole piece shape is proposed in order to improve the problem of low torque density of the non-contact permanent magnet gear. The experiment data required for predicting the relationships among them are obtained using finiteelement Operating method based on two-dimensional (2-D) numerical analysis. Therefore, this paper derived an optimal model for thenon-contact permanent magnet gear with the novel pole piece using the Box-Behnken design, and the validity of the optimal design of the proposed pole piece shape through variance analysis and regression analysis demonstrated. In this paper, we performed the thransfer torque analysis in order to improve the torque density and power density, we have performed on optimal design of proposed pole piece shape using box-behnken.

In a concentric magnetic gear, which replaces the teeth of a mechanical gear with a permanent magnet, the polar ratio of the magnet that determines the reduction ratio affects the behavior of the magnetic gear dramatically. This study analyzed the density of transmission torque, the efficiency of torque considering the solid loss, and the torque quality, including the cogging characteristics using finite element analysis. When the pole number on the driving side was changed from two to five, it was confirmed that there was an optimal pole ratio, in which the transmission torque was maximized. Because eddy current generation density is proportional to the magnetic field, the transmission efficiency also shows a similar tendency to the transmission torque density, and the efficiency is more than 95% at a low gear ratio. The cogging characteristics due to the interaction of the permanent magnets with the limited number of poles are inversely proportional to the least common multiple between the number of magnets on the drive side and the number of modulator teeth. A test model was built for the transmission torque evaluation.

A magnetic shutter gear is a device that transfers mechanical power by synchronizing the magnetic field between permanent magnet layers facing circumferentially through a harmonic modulator. However, magnetic gears uses many rare-earth permanent magnets to guarantee comparable torque density to that of mechanical reducer. Hence, we propose a novel axial magnetic gear with a dramatically reduced number of permanent magnets and a closed magnetic path. The torque of the system was compared to that of an existing shutter gear through a harmonic analysis of the air-gap magnetic field. The modulator thickness and open ratio were considered as the primary design parameters, and the cogging effect was analyzed for variation of the reduction ratio. A dynamic model between the high-speed side and low-speed side was derived, and position control was performed for a constructed hardware implementation.

기어는 회전 기계 사이의 동력 전달을 위한 장치이며 현재 산업 전반의 통상적인 기어는 기계적 기어가 주류로서 형성되어 있다. 하지만 기계적 기어는 맞물린 톱니바퀴의 물리적 접촉에 의해 접촉 경계면의 마모 및 파손, 소음과 진동의 문제가 있으며 유지보수 비용 또한 크다. 따라서 최근 물리적 접촉이 없어 기계적 기어의 많은 문제를 해결할 수 있는 마그네틱 기어 (Magnetic Gear)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 마그네틱 기어는 영구자석에서 생성된 자계를 이용하여 비접촉 동력전달이 가능하며, 마찰손실 제거, 유지보수의 용이성, 매우 적은 소음 및 진동 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 마그네틱 기어의 토크전달 방법과 형상변화에 따른 전달토크 특성을 2-D 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 해석하고 분석하고자 한다.

The reduction ratio of the magnetic gear is determined by the ratio of the number of poles between the high-speed permanent magnet layer and the low-speed permanent magnet layer. In general, it is known that the greater the least common multiple of both poles, the smaller the torque ripple called by cogging of the magnetic force generated in the magnetic gear. However, little is known about the effect of the harmonic modulator that filters the magnetic field in the magnetic gear to magnetically couple the high-speed side and the low-speed side except for the number of poles. In this study, torque ripple characteristics according to changes in modulator shape such as opening ratio and tooth thickness are analyzed using a finite element analysis tool.
