Methods for calculating the transmission torque of magnetic transmission mechanisms

Abstract

The methods of analyzing and calculating the magnetic field and the main problems of designing magnetic mechanisms are reviewed and discussed. The comparatively precise engineering methods for calculating the transmission torque of the plane axial and coaxial radial magnetic transmission mechanisms based on the magnetic theory are introduced, which can be used for optimization of designing the magnetic transmission mechanism. Two application instances of magnetic transmission mechanisms used in the Three-For-One and Two-For-One textile twisting machine are introduced, and the transmission torque of the mechanisms are measured by experiment and calculated by means of the engineering methods. © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
