Pros of mechanical gear | VS | Pros of Magnetic gear | |
1. High very high torque/mass (specific torque) | 1. Non-contact | ||
2. High very high efficiency | 1.1No lubrication | ||
3. Mature technology | 1.2Low maintenance | ||
2. Easily integrated in electric machines | |||
3. Potentially low vibration | |||
Cons of mechanical gear | VS | Cons of magnetic gear | |
1. Contact-related wear failure | 1. Unknown limits on specific torque efficiency | ||
1.1.Requires lubrication system(s) | 2. Magnet temperature limit | ||
1.2Routine costly maintenance | 3. Individual magnet interaction weaker than 1 gear tooth pair | ||
2. Strong tonal vibration cabin noise |
