Magnetic Gearing

Magnetic Gearing

Magnetic Gearing

(OP)
I've found some information about the subject, but no practical examples.  Does anyone have any experience with gear systems that are magnetically coupled?  I'm referring to the gear train itself, not a typical gear system magnetically coupled to the load.

RE: Magnetic Gearing

The only magnets I've ever seen in a gearbox were in the chip detector.

RE: Magnetic Gearing

Clyde38,

   You can buy pumps with magnetic couplings.  Obviously, the drive ratio is 1:1, and slighly less obviously, there are no seals between the motor and pump.

   Your website makes it pretty clear that magnetic gears are a proposal rather than something that is on the market.
