Temperature Stability All magnet materials are weakened at elevated temperatures. Some weakening is reversible. This is characterized by the reversible temperature coefficient, measured from 20 C. Magnet weakening is irreversible when the material is exposed to temperatures greater than the maximum rated operating temperature. A permanent, complete loss of magnetism occurs at the Curie temperature.

Synchronous Torque Ring Coupling Rare earth magnets utilized to transmit torque in a compact design Design is synchronous - no slip between motor and driven pump Advantage - efficient design with lower viscous & eddy current losses Disadvantage - lower temperature limit than asynchronous designs Page 13
Synchronous Magnetic Torque Coupling Page 14
Forces Between Magnets FA = force applied by driver FT = force transmitted by magnets L = distance between magnets Variables - Magnet material - Volume of magnets - Magnetic circuit design - Distance between center of magnet pairs Page 15
Torque & Power Transmission F = Force R = Radius T = Torque Power = (torque x rpm) / constant Therefore power depends on rpm Page 16
Maximum Torque and Decoupling If more than T is applied to coupling, the coupling will slip or dephase, referred to as decoupling Pump must be stopped in order to recouple the magnetic coupling Inner magnet assembly rotates very slowly or not at all Excessive noise & vibration Containment shell and magnets are heated by eddy currents Page 17
Magnetic Coupling Startup Reserve Magnetic couplings must be able to transmit the maximum torque delivered by the motor through the coupling At startup, torque from the motor is required to accelerate Motor rotor Outer magnet assembly Provide Power to the Liquid Inner Magnet Assembly Impeller & liquid Magnetic coupling must be sized to transmit added torque at startup Page 18
Effects of a Barrier Non-magnetic barrier does not affect the magnetic field Magnetic barrier will short circuit the magnetic field Eddy currents will be induced in electrically conductive barriers when magnetic field moves Must use low conductivity material (e.g. C-276) to reduce eddy currents Page 19
Coupling Power Losses WINDAGE - Viscous drag of fluid between containment shell and inner magnet assembly EDDY CURRENT - Induced in containment shell (conductive) with rotating magnetic field - Results in power loss which is converted to heat Page 20
