Patent - Magnetic torque amplifier (Patent - Magnetic torque amplifier for various drive applications) by European Business Group
A magnetic torque amplifier comprises a rotor portion, a stator portion, and a magnetic circuit configured to generate interacting magnetic fields across a working magnetic air gap. A magnet arrangement comprising permanent magnets or magnet segments increases useful magnetic flux in the air gap. A support or rotor-retention arrangement, including at least one of a rotor carrier, non-magnetic sleeve, carbon-fibre bandage, adhesive layer, mechanical pocket, bearing and support system, or housing, maintains air-gap accuracy or rotor integrity within a predetermined speed range. A thermal management arrangement removes heat from magnetic, electrical, mechanical, or bearing losses. These arrangements are dimensioned according to stored, simulation-derived, test-derived, or validated operating limits so that increased torque-transmission performance is achieved while magnetic saturation, thermal loading, vibration, mechanical stress, rotor-retention stress, air-gap displacement, and losses remain within predetermined limits.
