Abstract

See full text

An eddy current coupling has a field coil (42) for magnetically coupling an inductor drum (26) and rotor (28). The thickness of the supporting arm (48) for the coil increases in a step-wise manner in a direction away from the end of the arm. The diameter of the adjacent portions (30) of the rotor is reduced in a corresponding manner to provide a plurality of air gaps (54a, 54b, 54c) across which the flux passes in radial directions. The flux passage and heat removal characteristics of the coupling are enhanced.
