Magnetic-Superconductor Cryogenic Non-contact Harmonic Drive (MAGDRIVE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"The objective of this project is to design and build a harmonic drive able to work under cryogenic conditions, with an extremely low friction, long life time and no wear.This harmonic drive will achieve a great reduction ratio, being able to function at cryogenic temperatures and based on a non-contact interaction between magnets, soft magnetic materials and superconductors. The drive will not u ...
