The paper describes an axial-field topology of magnetic gear, which is particularly suitable for applications which require a hermetic isolation between the input and output shafts, such as pumps for use in the chemical/pharmaceutical, food, and aerospace industries. It is shown that a torque density in excess of 70kNm∕m3 can be achieved, and that the axial forces, which are exerted on the high-speed and low-speed rotors, are relatively low.
