Why Magnetic Gears?
- Wear-free operation: No mechanical contact between the gears, resulting in a longer service life.
- Hygiene benefits & low maintenance: Ideal for the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, as no lubricants enter the process.
- Overload protection: Magnetic gears automatically decouple under blockages or overload, preventing damage to machinery and drive systems.
- Low noise & vibration: Significantly quieter operation compared to conventional gear systems.
- Higher efficiency: Efficient power transmission despite contactless coupling.
- Design flexibility: Modularly adaptable for different torque and speed requirements.

Showcase Magnetic Gear
Demonstration Gearbox for Visualizing a Magnetic Gear This demonstrator is designed to illustrate the operating principle of a magnetic gear. In the shown configuration, the ring gear is rigidly fixed to the housing. The system is driven via the 6-pole rotor. The modulator rotates with a transmission ratio of i = 5.6, meaning it turns 5.6 times slower than the rotor. Torque transmission without mechanical contact – and without lubrication.
Test bench drive with magnetic gearbox
The test bench motor with integrated magnetic gear is designed for dynamic high-speed applications. The motor operates at 400 V and 8.2 A, delivering a maximum torque of 28 Nm and a rated torque of 14 Nm. Combined with a magnetic gear featuring a transmission ratio of 7.33, the system enables rotational speeds of up to 33,000 rpm with a maximum output torque of 1.9 Nm. This makes the drive ideal for compact test benches, high-speed validation setups, and applications requiring high power density. The contactless torque transmission of the magnetic gear minimizes wear and enables low-maintenance operation while maintaining high dynamic performance and efficiency. Benefits: - Maximum motor torque of 28 Nm - Rated torque of 14 Nm - Magnetic gear with 7.33 transmission ratio - Speeds up to 33,000 rpm - Maximum output torque of 1.9 Nm - Wear-free, contactless torque transmission
Driven Tool for CNC machines
Magnetic gears can be used as compact, high-speed driven tool achieving speeds of up to 60,000 rpm. This makes them ideal for high-speed machining operations such as grinding, polishing, or micro-drilling directly on the machine tool—without the need for a separate high-frequency spindle. This direct integration allows for flexible combination of machining steps, reduced setup times, and efficient use of available space. The lubricant-free design also ensures reliable operation in sensitive environments, such as vacuum technology or cleanroom processes, without risk of contamination or additional maintenance. Benefits: - Compact, integrated high-speed spindles - Speeds up to 60,000 rpm for high-speed machining - Flexible combination of machining steps - Reduced setup times and efficient space utilization - Lubricant-free design for sensitive environments
High-Gear Ratio Magnetic Motor for Safety Applications
Our high-ratio magnetic motor is designed specifically for safety-critical applications where reliability and overload protection are essential. Thanks to the integrated magnetic overload protection, the motor automatically decouples in case of blockages or excessive load, reliably preventing damage to the machine and drive system. The contactless power transmission ensures high torque density, wear-free operation, and minimal maintenance. It is particularly suited for stirrers, mixers, or similar equipment, where safe, continuous, and controlled torque transfer is required. Benefits: - Automatic overload protection via magnetic decoupling - High torque density in a compact design - Wear-free and low-maintenance operation - Low noise and vibration - Precise and efficient power transmission - Ideal for stirrers, mixers, and safety-critical machinery
