MagnaDrive’s breakthrough magnetic power transfer technology can substantially reduce global energy requirements while lowering the total cost of ownership associated with the operation of a vast base of motors that drive pumps, fans, blowers and other processing and manufacturing equipment used in industry around the world.
MagnaDrive's patented technology uses high power Neodymium-Iron-Boron permanent magnets to create an induced electromotive force used for torque transfer. The system physically separates the two elements of the motor system, placing magnet discs on the load shaft and a conductor assembly on the motor shaft. Motor torque is transferred to the load across an air gap. Varying the air gap between the magnets and conductor changes the strength of the magnetic field and hence controls output speed. A portfolio of 16 patents protects MagnaDrive's technology.
Some of the features and benefits of this technology include:
- No-contact power transfer - Eliminates vibration, reduces noise, tolerates misalignment, provides overload protection, extends motor and equipment life and reduces overall maintenance costs.
- Energy efficiency - 25% to 66% audited energy savings in various installations.
- Precise process control - Improves product quality and optimizes process rates.
- Soft start/stop - Reduces the motor's start-up power demands and the resulting brown-outs, alleviates paying for peak power, allows downsizing of motors, increases motor life and reduces maintenance.
- Simplicity and ruggedness - System can be maintained in-house and used in harsh conditions.
