Optimization Design of Magnetic Gear Based on Genetic Algorithm Toolbox of Matlab

Abstract

Concentric magnetic gear (CMG) is a transmission gear with a novel structure and a promising prospect. However, the calculation of its electromagnetic field is more complicated. In this paper, an exact analytical method is used to calculate the magnetic field distribution and electromagnetic torque. The genetic algorithm optimization toolbox of matlab (GAOT) provides a good tool for its optimization design. The optimization results show that the genetic algorithm is practicable and effective, and provide a new approach for the analysis and design of the concentric magnetic gear. It is significant for the research and application of the concentric magnetic gear.
