  • Abstract
    The paper deals with the possibility of replacing a mechanical planetary gear system by a magnetic planetary gearbox. The magnetic planetary gearbox has many advantages such as contact-free, no gear lubrication, high-speed-reduction ratio and high durability. Firstly, the principle of operation, design equations and Willis relation for the magnetic and the mechanical planetary gears are given. A comparative study between the two systems in terms of torque transmission capabilities is presented.
