Design and analysis of a novel high TC-superconducting coupling for high torque transmission and speed regulation: A Comparative study with slotted eddy current coupling

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive description of the design and analysis of a novel hybrid superconducting coupling with axial-flux. The coupling is meant to improve output torque and function efficiently at both low and high speeds. Through the use of the magnetic circuit equivalent model, the torque characteristics of the coupling are analyzed, and the stability of the coupling is investigated at both low and high speeds. In this paper, a novel MEC model is established for the purpose of computing torque and magnetic field properties. Additionally, the paper demonstrates that the coupling has the potential to regulate speed in four different ways. The Novel High Critical Temperature Superconducting Magnetic Coupling (NHSC) has been shown to provide more torque than the Slotted Eddy Current Coupling (SEC), according to a study that was undertaken to compare the two. The gap between the two couplings grows as the thickness of the air gap increases. Through this research, the transmission capabilities of the NHSC have been demonstrated, and its effectiveness in speed regulation has been validated. A wide variety of applications can benefit from the production of high-performance superconducting couplings, which can be improved thanks to the useful insights provided by this research.
