Design and Analysis of a Double Coaxial Magnetic Coupling to Improve Torque Density (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Akcay, Y., Tweedy, O., Giangrande, P., & Galea, M. (2021, October). Design and Analysis of a Double Coaxial Magnetic Coupling to Improve Torque Density. Presented at IECON 2021 - 47th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, Toronto, Canada

Coaxial magnetic couplings are an attractive alternative to traditional mechanical machine couplings which bring several desirable advantages but are limited by their relatively low torque density and torque to mass ratio. The optimum magnetic design... Read More about Design and Analysis of a Double Coaxial Magnetic Coupling to Improve Torque Density.

Fast and Accurate 2D Analytical Subdomain Method for Coaxial Magnetic Coupling Analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Akcay, Y., Giangrande, P., Tweedy, O., & Galea, M. (2021). Fast and Accurate 2D Analytical Subdomain Method for Coaxial Magnetic Coupling Analysis. Energies, 14(15), Article 4656. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14154656

Magnetic couplings (MCs) enable contactless speed/torque transmission via interactions between the magnetic fields of permanent magnets (PMs) rather than a physical mechanical connection. The contactless transmission of mechanical power leads to impr... Read More about Fast and Accurate 2D Analytical Subdomain Method for Coaxial Magnetic Coupling Analysis.

Magneto-mechanical Design and Development of a Coaxial Magnetic Coupling with Optimization of Torque to Mass Ratio (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tweedy, O., Akcay, Y., Giangrande, P., & Galea, M. (2021, May). Magneto-mechanical Design and Development of a Coaxial Magnetic Coupling with Optimization of Torque to Mass Ratio. Presented at 2021 IEEE International Electric Machines and Drives Conference, IEMDC 2021, Hartford, CT, USA

This work covers the design and analysis of a coaxial magnetic coupling with the aim to optimize the torque to mass ratio. Magnetic couplings provide several unique benefits over standard mechanical couplings that are made possible via magnetic torqu...
