Mathematical model and experimental study of a magnet coupling with a stop

Abstract

Article highlights An improved analytical model for magnet couplings combined with a stop is developed and experimentally validated. The analytical calculation of convective heat transfer combined with numerical calculation using the FEM makes it possible to solve the problem of the cooling design of the coupling. The experiment study of the coupling design shows the in uence of manufacturing accuracy on the torque.
