Magnetkoblet

Magnetkoblet refers to a magnetic coupling, a device that transmits torque between two shafts using magnetic forces. This transmission occurs without physical contact between the rotating components. The coupling typically consists of two sets of magnets, one attached to the driving shaft and the other to the driven shaft. As the driving shaft rotates, its magnetic field interacts with the magnets on the driven shaft, causing the driven shaft to rotate as well.

The primary advantage of a magnetkoblet is its ability to provide a non-contact power transmission. This eliminates wear and tear associated with traditional mechanical couplings like gears or belts, leading to increased lifespan and reduced maintenance. It also offers inherent safety features, as the magnetic connection can slip or disengage under excessive load, preventing damage to the connected equipment. This makes them suitable for applications where overloading is a risk.

Magnetkoblet are often used in situations requiring sealing or isolation between the driving and driven components. For example, in pumps handling corrosive or hazardous fluids, the sealed shaft design prevents leakage. They are also employed in vacuum or sterile environments where contamination must be avoided. The strength of the magnetic attraction can be designed to meet specific torque requirements. Applications range from small precision instruments to larger industrial machinery.
