What is a Magnetic Coupling ?

A magnetic coupling is a coupling

that transfers torque from one
shaft, but using a magnetic field
rather than a physical mechanical
connection

WHERE WE USE MAGNETIC COUPLING ?.

• Diver propulsion vehicles and remotely operated

underwater vehicles.
• Magnetically coupled pumps, or magnetic drive
pumps.
• Magnetic Stirrer.
• Magnetic Particle Clutch.

WHY USE OF MAGNETIC COUPLING STARTED FOR POWER TRANSFER ?.

• It doesn't exhibit stick-slip phenomenon(the

spontaneous jerking motion that can occur while
two objects are sliding over each other. ).
• The torque may be easily and quickly controlled
• It is more resistant to wear
• It may be used for continuous slip applications
• It has a very fast response time
• Efficiency up to 100%.
• It helps to prevent to leakage.

Factors Helping Magnetic Coupling to rise in applications ?

• In DRIVER PROPULSION VEHICLES, use magnetic coupling to transfer torque from the electric motor to
the prop. Magnetic gearing is also being explored for use in utility scale wind turbines as a means of
enhancing reliability. The magnetic coupling has several advantages over a traditional stuffing box.
• In Magnetically coupled pumps, or magnetic drive pumps, vary from the traditional pumping style, as
the motor is coupled to the pump by magnetic means rather than by a direct mechanical shaft. The
pump works via a drive magnet, 'driving' the pump rotor, which is magnetically coupled to the primary
shaft driven by the motor. They are often used where leakage of the fluid pumped poses a great risk
(e.g., aggressive fluid in the chemical or nuclear industry, or electric shock - garden fountains). They
have no direct connection between the motor shaft and the impeller, so no gland is needed. There is
no risk of leakage, unless the casing is broken. Since the pump shaft is not supported by bearings
outside the pump's housing, support inside the pump is provided by bushings. The pump size of a
magnetic drive pumps can go from few Watts power to a giant 1MW.
• A magnetic stirrer or magnetic mixer is a laboratory device that employs a rotating magnetic field to
cause a stir bar (or flea) immersed in a liquid to spin very quickly, thus stirring it. The rotating field
may be created either by a rotating magnet or a set of stationary electromagnets, placed beneath the
vessel with the liquid.
