    Magnetic gear torque converters can transmit torque between an input and output shaft without contact using permanent magnets. They offer higher efficiency than 99% and inherent overload protection. The gear ratio is determined by the number of magnets and steel pole pieces, analogous to a planetary gear system. They have advantages over mechanical gears like reduced maintenance and higher reliability since there is no wear from meshing parts.

    Zilift Torque Converter


    Contactless, high-efficiency, high-torque transmission with
    inherent overload protection

    At the heart of Zilift TorqueDrive technology lies the Torque Converter, a unique device which allows the
    motor to run efficiently at higher operating speeds whilst delivering increased torque and reduced speed to
    the pump.
    The high-torque magnetic gear was invented and demonstrated by Dr Kais Atallah from the University of
    Sheffield in 2001. This pioneering research was been extended by Zilift and Magnomatics to provide a
    downhole variant of this gear technology.
    Principle of operation
    A magnetic gear torque converter uses permanent magnets to transmit torque between an input and output
    shaft without mechanical contact. Torque densities comparable with mechanical gears can be achieved
    with an efficiency >99% at full load and with much higher part load efficiencies than a mechanical gear. For
    higher power ratings a magnetic gear will be smaller, lighter and lower cost than a mechanical gear.

    A magnetic gear consists of two rings of permanent


    magnets with a ring of steel pole pieces in
    between. These steel pole pieces act as flux paths from
    each of the rings of magnets. This has the effect of
    creating harmonics in the fields produced by each ring of
    magnets. By careful selection of pole numbers one can
    couple to the harmonic field and this creates a gear
    ratio. One element of the gear is held still whilst the other
    two rotate.

    Ratio of magnetic materials and steel pole pieces determines the magnetic gear ratio for example:
    23 pole pair magnets in the stator
    27 steel pole pieces providing the flux path
    4 pole pair on the high speed input rotor
    Resulting gear ratio = 1 : 23 / 4 = 5.75

    The operation of this gear assembly is analogous to a planetary


    or epicyclical gear assembly, with the inner rotor acting as the
    sun gear, the outer rotor as a ring gear, and the steel pole
    pieces acting as planetary gears.

    Since there is no mechanical contact due to meshing parts there is no wear and lubrication is not required.

    The diagram (left) displays the flux lines and


    the shaded plot of the magnetic flux density as
    the gears rotate. The operation of the gears
    can be seen from the plot of flux lines (right),
    which shows the magnetic field in the pole
    pieces focusing the magnetic flux from the
    outer ring inwards towards the high speed
    rotor.

    Inherent overload protection


    Magnetic gears inherently protect against overloads by
    harmlessly slipping if an overload torque is applied, and
    automatically and safely reengaging when the fault torque
    is removed.

    The torque transmission capability is evaluated with


    another simulation that runs the inner rotor at constant
    speed, while gradually increasing the load on the outer
    rotor. When the load exceeds the torque limit of the
    magnetic gears, the outer rotor starts to slip. Before this
    point, the outer rotor will lag the inner rotor and, in fact,
    the relation between torque and lag is approximately sinusoidal, with a period equal to twice the rotor
    magnet spacing.

    Advantages over mechanical gears


    Reduced maintenance and improved reliability
    Lubrication free
    Higher efficiency than conventional gears
    Precise peak torque transmission
    torque transmission is a function of active
    magnetic length
    Inherent overload protection
    Physical isolation between input and output shafts
    Inherent anti-jamming transmission
    Significantly reduces harmful drivetrain pulsations
    Allows for misalignment/vibration of shafts
    Very low acoustic noise and vibration
