A multispeed, single-plane magnetic gear can be designed compactly and used in a confined space. However, a magnetic connection occurs between the pinion and each gear train during meshing, and influences the performance characteristics.
Performance characteristics testing of magnetic gears with various teeth profiles was carried out to eliminate undesirable magnetic connections and increase the gears ’ load-carrying capacity.
As a result, a desirable gear pair with good performance characteristics was developed. A new mechanism for magnetic planetary and differential gearing was obtained, in which the gear trains are separated to allow free rotation.
