Abstract
A magnetic transmission is provided with: an inner rotor; an outer rotor; and a magnetic-field-modulating stator disposed coaxially between the inner rotor and the outer rotor. The inner rotor is provided with a first magnet array and a second magnet array arranged in the direction of the central axis and disposed at different pitches along the circumferential direction. The outer rotor is provided with a magnet array disposed along the circumferential direction. The magnetic-field-modulating stator is provided with a first magnetic body array and a second magnetic body array opposing the first magnet array and the second magnet array, respectively. Further, by moving the inner rotor and the magnetic-field-modulating stator in the direction of the central axis while holding the opposing relationship between the first magnetic body array and the second magnetic body array, and the first magnet array and the second magnet array, the position where the outer rotor, and the first magnet array and the second magnet array oppose each other is changed continuously.
