The manufacturability of permanent magnets (PMs) has always been a critical consideration in the design of 2D valve’s maglev couplings. The existing surface-mounted magnetic screw mechanism (SMMSM) suffers from complex manufacturing of helical PMs, resulting in poor assembly accuracy and air-gap uniformity. This paper presents a novel surface-embedded maglev coupling (SEMC), in which the surface-embedded magnetic circuit topology with standardized rectangular PMs significantly improves the manufacturability of PMs and assembly accuracy. To enable rapid and accurate prediction of output torque, an analytical model is established based on the field-circuit combined method. Sub-models for PM leakage flux, air gap reluctance, and soft magnetic component reluctance are built with the assistance of Maxwell platform. Considering the nonlinear permeability of the soft magnetic component, the permeability curve is divided into three regions to improve the modeling accuracy. The effects of key structural parameters on the output torque are investigated to guide the development of the prototype. A dedicated experimental platform is built to test the static and dynamic characteristics of SEMC. Experimental results show that the output torque is 0.625 Nm, and the step response time is 34.2 ms at a displacement of 1 mm. Then, SEMC is applied to a 2D electro-hydraulic proportional flow valve (2D-EHPFV) to verify its feasibility. Experimental results show that, at 7 MPa, the maximum no-load flow rate is 101.6 L/min, and the amplitude and phase frequency width are 48.5 Hz, and 30.6 Hz, respectively. The comparison indicates that SEMC outperforms SMMSM in manufacturability and application performance, which exhibits its potential for civil electro-hydraulic proportional control applications.
