Gearless Magnetic Transmission - You Can't Break These Gears

 Gearless Magnetic Transmission - You Can't Break These Gears

Contactless, gearless, silent, lubrication-free axial-flux magnetic gearbox-transmission through permanent magnets(PM). This is actually very similar to axial flux motors, except that there is a flux modulator between the permanent magnet rotors, and that creates a gear ratio between them.

Unlike my previous radial-flux magnetic gearbox, in this axial-flux gearless magnetic gearbox, the interaction of permanent magnets takes place in an axial parallel way, not in the radial direction. And the main reason for designing this axial flux version was the thought that I could achieve tighter tolerances with 3D printed parts than the radial one, so by modifying the modulator or reducing the air gap between the magnets, I was able to significantly increase the torque capacity of this axial flux contactless magnetic gearbox.

I have made a lot of things with mechanical gears so far but you know they have some inherent problems. Noisy operation, needing lubrication or wearing on teeth. I wouldn't really call them problems though. Because very high torques can be transmitted with them. But we also have an amazing option like magnetic gears, which don't require contact because they work through magnetic forces.

For this reason, things like wear or damage due to over torque in mechanical gears do not happen to them. Also, one of the most beautiful things about magnetic gearboxes is that they work much quieter than mechanical gears and they absolutely do not need any lubrication.
