This course is a comprehensive, hands-on guide to the design, simulation, and analysis of magnetic gearboxes using ANSYS Maxwell. Whether you’re an engineer, researcher, graduate student, or simply someone passionate about advanced electromagnetic systems, this course will equip you with both the theoretical background and the practical skills needed to learn how to design and analyze magnetic gear systems.
You’ll explore the complete design workflow for internal, external, and coaxial magnetic gears. Unlike conventional mechanical gears, magnetic gears operate without physical contact—relying entirely on magnetic fields to transmit torque. This contactless mechanism eliminates friction, minimizes maintenance, and enables quieter, more efficient systems. As a result, magnetic gears are now a leading solution for modern applications like electric vehicles, wind turbines, aerospace systems, medical devices, and robotics.
In this course, you will:
- Understand the physical principles and performance benefits of magnetic gearboxes.
- Create detailed 2D and 3D models using ANSYS Maxwell.
- Define pole pairs, gear ratios, magnetization directions, and modulator structures.
- Assign materials and configure moving parts with rotational motion.
- Simulate magnetic flux, field strength, torque, and optimize gear geometry.
This course will be continuously updated to reflect the latest research, tools, and innovations in magnetic gear technology—so you can stay ahead of the curve in your career or research.
- Electrical and mechanical engineers interested in magnetic gear design.
