Description:

Advances in creating permanent magnets with high magnetic flux densities for longer operating life have renewed interest in the concentric magnetic gearboxes. Such gearboxes allow building transmission assemblies that allow varying speeds and torques without contact, which overcomes several friction related drawbacks of traditional gearboxes such as such as heat dissipation, noise generation and tooth wear from constant gear meshing. This project is will extend the previous years final year project on building the magnetic gearbox, by investigating its design, suggesting improvements, developing a test rig for measuring concentric magnetic gearbox box performance.

Type:

Undergraduate

Outcome:

1. Familiarize with design and analysis of concentric magnetic gearbox
   
2. Investigate and suggest improvements for the current magnetic gearbox proto-type
   
3. Quantify performance parameters of a magnetic gearbox (e.g. efficiency, stall torque, maximum allowable torque)
   
4. Design and build a test rig for measuring these performance parameters of the gearbox
