Experimental validation of a transverse flux magnetic gear.

• Details of the development of a magnetic gear with transverse flux architecture. • Experimental validation of the magnetic behavior from comparison with 3D FEM. • Iron losses in pole pieces are a major disadvantage of the structure. This article focuses on the realization of a magnetic gear with transverse flux architecture. In order to analyze both the behavior and modeling of this magnetic gear architecture, an experimental test bench was developed, and 3D finite element computations were performed. The instrumentation of this test bench serves to measure torque, transverse flux in pole pieces, speeds and efficiency. A comparison between experimental findings and 3D finite element model output is proposed in order to validate system behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
