APPLICATION OF MAGNETIC TRANSMISSION IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Abstract

Transmissions in which the transmission of power and torque performed with the aid of noncontact magnetic force called magnetic transmissions. This magnetic transmissions, as opposed to mechanical gear transmissions, no noise, vibration and friction, and therefore does not need lubrication and maintenance costs are significantly lower. There are two basic types of magnetic transmissions: converted and magnetic transmissions with a variable magnetic field. Magnetic transmissions are made of an alloy of iron, boron and neodymium, which enables to obtain a permanent magnet for maximum utilization of power transmissions. This paper presents a brief overview of the development of magnetic transmissions, their classification and characteristics, of which the most important gear ratio and density of torque. Also, they are given examples of the application of magnetic transmissions in the automotive industry.
