Abstract

This paper proposes a novel magnetic nutation gear drive (MA-ND) which offers several advantages compared to the traditional mechanical one in terms of contact-free, low noise and vibration, inherent overload protection, no need of lubrication and low-loss energy. Firstly, the working principle of the proposed MA-ND is introduced. The structure design of the MA-ND is developed and the three-dimensional model of the MA-ND is further accomplished. Based on the coordinate transformation and the geometric analysis, the geometric properties and the meshing characteristics are revealed. Furthermore, the force and torque are deduced based on equivalent magnetic charge method, a prototype of this MA-ND is developed and the transmission ratio experiment under variable load is carried out to indicate that the proposed MA-ND can meet the requirement.
