As a type of magnetic device being able to realize contact‐free power transmission together with sufficient volumetric torque density, the field‐modulated magnetic gear (FMMG) has become a promising alternative to the mechanical gear having rigid construction yet suffering lots of issues generated by the continuous teeth friction. The conventional magnetic gears (MGs) that behave as simple copies of their mechanical counterparts and can be roughly defined as origination of the FMMG are briefly introduced at first. Subsequently, the topology and material advancements proposed to improve operational performance of the FMMG are comprehensively summarised so as to clarify its current development status. Finally, potential applications of the FMMG due to its inherent advantages are compared against the existent challenges. The review aims to provide referable guidelines for researchers working at the field of high‐performance MGs.

“…However, even frequent maintenance does not guarantee a long lifetime of a mechanical gear, especially if the system is often exposed to high loads. In light of that, so-called magnetic gears (MGs) emerged as an interesting alternative whose application in electromechanical systems, for example industrial conveyors [1], electric vehicles [2] and wind [3] or ocean wave [4] energy conversion systems, has already been shown to be beneficial. Just like conventional mechanical gears, MGs can transmit power from the high-speed low-torque side to the low-speed high-torque side (or vice versa).…”

Magnetic gears (MGs) emerged as an interesting alternative to conventional mechanical gears, owing mainly to their high torque densities and contactless operation. This paper presents a novel observer-based position control system for a magnetic-geared servo drive. The presented control system is based on two well established control strategies—field-oriented control (FOC) and state feedback control. The former is used to achieve effective torque control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) which is considered as an actuator that drives the high-speed rotor, whereas the latter is used to control the position of the low-speed rotor. A reduced-order extended state observer is used to estimate the position and speed of the low-speed rotor, thereby reducing the number of sensors required for the implementation of the controller. The whole control system is implemented on a microcontroller and tested on an existing prototype with a gear ratio of 18:1. The experimental results show that the presented control system guarantees precise positioning within a short amount of time and excellent disturbance rejection.
