Magnomatics Limited

Magnomatics Limited is a high-technology company formed in 2006 as a spin-out from the University of Sheffield. The company is commercialising novel products based on highly efficient, proprietary magnetic gear technology. Magnetic gears are contactless and therefore operate very efficiently over a broad range of speeds. They are compact and also incorporate a torque-fuse feature. A magnetic gear can be combined with a stator to form a highly efficient, high torque-density motor or generator known as the Pseudo Direct Drive (PDD®). These are especially suited to high-torque, low-speed applications. A magnetic gear can also be adapted into a continuously variable hybrid transmission and power-split device for automotive applications. This MAGSPLIT® product is also efficient, compact, and capable of filtering torsional vibrations from the drivetrain. Magnomatics is working with some of the world’s largest multinationals across a range of industries, including automotive, renewable energy, rail, aerospace, marine, oil and gas.
