文摘Due to the large torque density of magnetic gears(MGs),magnetic-geared permanent magnet machines(MGPMs)have become promising competitors in the family of direct-drive machines.According to the deployment of armature stators,MGPMs can be generally classified into three types,viz.,MGPM with inner armature stator(MGPM-IAS),MGPM with outer armature stator(MGPM-OAS),and MGPM with sandwiched armature stator(MGPM-SAS).Our investigation finds out that the MGPM-SAS can achieve parallel-path power flows better than the MGPM-OAS,while the MGPM-IAS is with serial power flow paths.Therefore,the torque capability of MGPM-IAS is limited by the torque transmission capability of its integrated MG.However,the MGPM-SAS has the possibility to offer even higher output torque than its integrated MG.This paper focuses on the MGPM-SAS.And three typical MGPMs and their power flow paths are introduced;the interaction of electromagnetic fields in MGPM-SAS is analyzed;simulation calculation and experimental verification are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical analysis.
