Abstract :
This paper presents the design, analysis and development of permanent magnet (PM) couplers. These couplers employ rare-earth magnets. Based on finite element analysis and earlier analytical works, both concentric and face-type synchronous type couplers are designed and fabricated. The experimental performance is given compared with earlier designs. The experimental performance has good correlation with finite element torque calculations
