Magnomatics specialises in the development of novel high-torque magnetic gearboxes, motors and generators for use within wind turbine power generation, transportation and domestic energy products.
High-torque mechanical gearboxes, such as those used in the expanding domestic and industrial wind power generation market, can suffer extremely expensive permanent damage if a gusting wind applies too great a load to their mechanical drive systems. Magnomatics’ patented 'pseudo' direct drive motor/generator systems remove the risk of expensive damage from high winds with the added benefit of being lighter, lubrication free and more efficient than a conventional high-torque gearbox. The technology has additional applications in the aerospace and hybrid vehicle market.
