ABSTRACT

Magnetic-geared dual-rotor reluctance machines are also flux-modulation machines. Their two rotors provide for a magnetic-gear effect that may increase the torque/volume in low-speed high-torque applications, but at the inevitable cost of notable additional PM weight/Nm, though at acceptable efficiency. But the elimination of mechanical transmission by using a magnetic gear capable of more than 100 Nm/liter is considered encouraging in pursuing the development of compact low-speed high-torque pseudodirect drives with MG-REMs.
