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 improvements in terms of efficiency and reliability due to the absence of wear between moving parts. One of the most common MC topologies is the coaxial type, also known as the radial configuration. This paper presents an analytical tool for the accurate and fast analysis of coaxial magnetic couplings (CMCs) using a two-dimensional subdomain approach. In particular, the proposed analytical tool resolves Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations for both air-gap and PM regions. The tool can be used to evaluate the impact of several design parameters on the performance of the CMC, enabling quick and accurate sensitivity analyses, which in turn guide the choice of design parameters. After discussing the building procedure of the analytical tool, its applicability and suitability for sensitivity analyses are assessed and proven with the analysis of a fully parameterized CMC geometry. The accuracy and the computational burden of the proposed analytical tool are compared against those of the finite element method (FEM), revealing faster solving times and acceptable levels of precision.

In the context of increasing the electronic components integration level, growing functionality and packaging density, as well as reducing the electronics weight and size, an integrated approach to engineering calculations of parts and assemblies of modern functionally and technically complex microelectronic products is required. Of particular importance are engineering calculations and structural modeling using computer-aided engineering systems, and also assessment of structural, technological and operational factors’ impact on the products reliability and performance. This work presents an approach to engineering calculations and microelectronic products modeling based on the finite-element method providing a comprehensive account of various factors (material properties, external loading, temperature fields, and other parameters) impact on the stress-strain state, mechanical strength, thermal condition, and other characteristics of products. On the example of parts and assemblies of products of microelectronic technology, the approximation of structures was shown and computer finite-element models were developed to study various structural and technological options of products and the effects on them. Engineering calculations and modeling of parts and assemblies were performed, taking into account the impact of material properties, design parameters and external influences on the products’ characteristics. Scientific and technical recommendations for structure optimization and design and technology solutions ensuring the products resistance to diverse effects were developed. It has been shown that an integrated approach to engineering calculations and microelectronic products modeling based on the finite-element method provides for the determination of optimal solutions taking into account structural, technological, and operational factors and allows the development of products with high tactical, technical and operational characteristics.

Bellows can be used as collapse elements for automotive steering columns. The crash performance of the steering column can be significantly improved with the bellows. However, the bending flexibility of the bellows has negative effects on the vibration characteristics. An effort is made to improve the vibration characteristics of steering columns with bellows. To understand the effects of various design parameters on the collapse and vibration, sensitivity analyses are performed by the finite element method using Taguchi's scheme. It is shown that the structure of the upper mounting bracket is the most important parameter affecting the vibration characteristics. An optimal design is proposed for a lower tilt type steering column.

Torque Transmission

Magnetic couplings (Figure 1) are widely used to torque transmission between two shafts without any mechanical contact. They are especially well suited for used in hazardous environments, to transmit torque through a separation wall. An additional advantage of a magnetic coupling is that slipping occurs when excessive torque is applied, this can be used to prevent mechanical failure due to torque overloads. This paper deals with influence of temperature on behavior of magnetic coupling and magnetic coupling design optimization. The permanent magnets that are used for torque transmission cannot be used close to Currie point, which is a point of loss of magnetic characteristics. We intend to use the magnetic coupling for pump of radioactive liquid materials for transmutation devices, where the temperature is close to four hundred centigrade. Because of we suggest the design changes for elimination of temperature influence. This paper presents the finite element (FE) parametric model of magnetic coupling, experimental verification of FE model and optimization of the inner part of magnetic coupling in order to increase the maximal torque. The genetic algorithm method in connection with FEM model of magnetic coupling was used for the design optimization procedure.

Abstract The paper discusses issues related to the optimisation of magnetic couplings used in bioreactors (manufactured by JSC “Biotehniskais Centrs”). The purpose of optimisation was to preserve the maximum breakaway torque of the magnetic coupling while reducing the mass of rare earth elements used in its structure. The paper presents the rationale for the selected optimisation option taking into account the economic aspect. To solve the optimisation problem, the factors affecting the maximum torque of the magnetic coupling, such as the shape and height of the internal and external magnets, the angle of the external and internal magnets, as well as the height of the internal and external yoke, were determined. The design of the existing magnetic coupling was optimised and its prototype was made based on the results of optimisation. The results obtained by means of optimisation were compared with the results obtained experimentally by testing the manufactured prototype.

Based on the magnetic field modulation effect, this article presents a magnetic gear with intersecting axes and straight stationary pole-pieces. Except for a higher utilization of permanent magnets and a greater output torque, the magnetic gear with intersecting axes and straight stationary pole-pieces provides several advantages, such as a smaller volume, higher torque density, and lower processing cost. The magnetic gear with intersecting axes and straight stationary pole-piece topology is herein introduced and the deduced constraints of the structural design are outlined. The transmission mechanism is demonstrated by analyzing the output torque in the middle of the air gaps. The effects of the main design parameters on the maximum static torque are evaluated using the finite element method. Based on the orthogonal experimental design and the response surface method, the optimum design results are provided. Prototype of the magnetic gear with intersecting axes and straight stationary pole-pieces has been realized and the static torque has been verified experimentally.

SRA gained supremacy over permanent magnet actuators due to the fact that its building material are relatively low cost compared to the expensive and rare permanent magnets. SRA is already making its debut in automotive, medical and high precision applications. However, many parties are still oblivious to this new age actuator. This paper reviews the latest literature in terms of journal articles and conference proceedings regarding the different design parameters and control method of SRA. The impact of the parameters on the performance of SRA are discussed in details to provide valuable insight. This paper also discussed the advantages of various novel SRA structure designs that prove to be a huge contribution to the future technology. It is found that several design parameters such as the air gap when kept minimum, increases torque value; while increasing number of phases in SRA minimizes torque ripples. Increased stator and rotor arc angles will increase torque, not to mention a larger excitation current can also achieve the same effect. Researches are often done through Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis to verify the optimized design parameters before fabrication, whilst experimental procedures are executed to verify the simulation results. To ensure smooth phase switching and improved torque output, intelligent controllers are employed in speed control and direct torque control (DTC) methods of SRA.</span>

Abstract Magnetically actuated diaphragm pumps were fabricated with low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) tapes and Kapton polyimide film. The pumps consisted of a chamber machined in a LTCC substrate. The chamber was covered either on one or both sides with Kapton diaphragms on which copper coils were patterned. The diaphragms were actuated by passing electric current through the coils in the presence of permanent magnets. Passive Kapton flap valves were used to direct fluid flow into and out of the chamber. The first design consisted of a single, circular diaphragm pump. In the second design, two circular diaphragms were used. The two diaphragms are deflected into and out of the pressure chamber simultaneously. Flow rates of up to 7 mL/min were measured. The static response of a circular diaphragm subjected to magnetic forces was computed using the finite element method (FEM). The effect of the copper coils on diaphragm stiffness was accounted for. The design parameters (the number of windings and the size and location of the magnet) needed to maximize the volumetric displacement were determined. At relatively high currents, the coils heated up significantly and caused the pump’s performance to deteriorate.

The possibility of changing the torque transmitted by a cylindrical magnetic coupling, depending on the brand of a high-coercive permanent magnet — neodymium— iron—boron, samarium—cobalt is considered. Using the example of standard magnetic couplings with a diameter of 133 mm for magnets and air gaps between the half couplings for magnets of 5 and 7 mm, the change in the torque transmitted by the magnetic coupling without changing its overall dimensions is shown. Varying the torque of the magnetic coupling is possible by changing the shape, size and grade of permanent magnets while keeping the same number of magnets in each of the half-couplings of the magnetic coupling constant.
