The drive uses a recessed wall or partition between the pole-rings of the two rotors to substantially diminish the occurrence and strength of eddy currents. The recesses may be in the form of grooves, depressions or axial bores which reduce the mass of the wall. The wall is further reinforced by non-magnetic electrically non-conductive or insulated elements of high tensile strength to compensate for the reduction in strength caused by the grooves, depressions or bores.

Magnetic drive

A rotary vane pump incorporating radially displaceable sliding vanes. The sliding vanes can be electromagnetically actuated in order to permit use of the rotary vane pump as a hydraulic brake.

The coupling is constructed for synchronous as well as asynchronous operation. To this end, the driving rotor and driven rotor are each provided with tooth-like poles and the poles of one rotor are spaced apart to cover only a part of the rotational surface of the rotor. The remaining part of the rotational surface is covered by smooth electrically-conductive layers. A circumferential band may also be disposed about or within a rotor in facing relation to the poles of the other rotor while being of smaller width than the air gap between the two rotors. For increased asynchronous operation, conductor rods are disposed between the poles of the rotors.

Asynchronous synchronizable magnetic coupling

The electromagnetic winding is made up of a plurality of insulated coils which are formed by a wound-up sheet metal strip. The strip is of a material having high magnetic permeability so that the coils eliminate the need for a magnetic core. The coils can be insulated from each other by a wound strip of insulating material such as paper or by means of a synthetic lacquer. The electromagnetic coupler can be of the synchronous or asynchronous type and can be in the form of a clutch or brake.
