Magnetic Shaft Couplings

Ondrives.US offers a comprehensive selection of misalignment shaft couplings that deliver a non-contact transfer of torque. Powered by rare earth magnets, the torque applied to one hub is transferred through an air gap to the other hub. The torque transfer can also operate through a thin flat barrier separating fluids or atmospheres. There is no physical contact between the driving and driven hubs, so these couplings never wear out or overheat.

Magnetic Shaft Couplings: High Speed, Non-Contact Torque Transfer

Our magnetic disc couplings are comprised of two hubs containing powerful magnets. The torque applied to one disc is transferred through an air gap to the other disc. The hubs are sold separately, so connecting shafts of different diameters is made simple. The hubs are available in a range of standard inch and metric bore sizes, with custom bore sizes also available.

Magnetic Shaft Couplings: How They Work

Because of its simple flat design, you can have angular misalignment of up to 3° or parallel misalignment up to 1/4" and still transmit nearly full rotational torque. Magnetic couplings offer a non-contact transfer of torque. A thin flat barrier to separate the atmospheres or fluids surrounding the two discs is also feasible. They are typically used in pumps for seal-less applications, keeping corrosive, toxic, or flammable liquids from escaping into the atmosphere.
