An electromagnetic coupling device includes an electromagnetic coil, a field core including a recessed portion containing the electromagnetic coil, and a terminal block inserted in a hole passing through the wall of the recessed portion. The terminal block includes a terminal portion projecting outside the field core, a pair of terminals provided at the terminal portion, and a pair of through holes passing through the terminal block via the pair of terminals. The winding start end and winding termination end of the electromagnetic coil pass through the pair of through holes, project from the pair of terminals, and are soldered to the pair of terminals together with a pair of external connection lead wires.

The present invention relates to a non-contact no-load power transmission device which can transmit power in a non-contact no-load state by using a magnetic-to-nonmagnetic structure. For this purpose, provided is a non-contact no-load power transmission device characterized by operating in a non-contact manner and comprising: a first disc unit 10 coupled to one of a power shaft or a load shaft and having a magnetic body on one side surface; and a second disc unit 20 coupled to the power shaft or the load shaft that corresponds to the first disc unit 10 and formed of a nonmagnetic body that attracts the magnetic body.

A programmable, electronically controlled sprinkler system has a hermetically sealed internal chamber which encloses all of the internal water flow, valves, mechanical and rotational components and a plurality of magnetic coupling arrangements which allow external motors to control operation of the internal mechanical components without requiring any hydraulic seals.

A resistance adjustment system for adjusting a resisting force to a flywheel of a stationary exercise equipment is provided, including a resistance control circuit, a manual adjustment member, a power unit, a transmission assembly, and a resistance device. The power unit is in electrical connection with the resistance control circuit, wherein, in response to receipt of a resistance adjustment signal from the manual adjustment member, the resistance control circuit generates a driving signal to drive the power unit. The power unit then moves the resistance device via a transmission assembly to cause a change of the resisting force to the flywheel.

A magnetic coupling assembly includes a first balancing magnet positioned and surrounding drive magnets and, across a gap, a second balancing magnet and surrounding driven magnets. The drive magnets when rotated drive the driven magnets to rotate. The balancing magnets generate a repulsive force, which counterbalances an attractive force generated by the drive magnets and driven magnets. The assembly may be utilized in a pump for contactless coupling of a motor shaft to a pump shaft. The driven side of the assembly may be hermetically sealed, such as with a liquid crystal polymer boundary interposed in the gap.

A mechanical energy harvesting system includes a base seat unit, a rotating shaft device, and a driving device. The base seat unit includes first and second seat bodies. The rotating shaft device is rotatably mounted to the first seat body. The driving device is disposed on the base seat unit and includes at least one driving unit sleeved on the rotating shaft device for driving the rotating shaft device to rotate and thus generate rotational kinetic energy, and at least one transmission unit connected between the second seat body and the driving unit and configured to drive the rotating shaft device to rotate when the second seat body swings relative to the first seat body, so as to generate the rotational kinetic energy.

A gas laser apparatus includes: a magnetic bearing including an electromagnet capable of controlling a magnetic force, and configured to rotatably support a rotary shaft of a fan in a magnetically levitated state by the magnetic force, the fan being configured to supply a laser gas; an electromagnet control unit configured to control the magnetic force of the electromagnet based on displacement of a levitated position of the rotary shaft and adjust the levitated position; a motor configured to generate torque for rotating the fan; a magnetic coupling configured to couple the rotary shaft and a drive shaft of a motor with a magnetic attractive force and transmit the torque of the motor to the rotary shaft; an attractive force estimating sensor configured to detect a parameter that enables an attractive force of the magnetic coupling to be estimated; an attractive force measuring unit configured to measure the attractive force of the magnetic coupling based on the detected parameter; and a correction unit configured to correct the magnetic force of the electromagnet according to a variation in the attractive force measured by the attractive force measuring unit.

A programmable, electronically controlled sprinkler system has a hermetically sealed internal chamber which encloses all of the internal water flow, valves, mechanical and rotational components and a plurality of magnetic coupling arrangements which allow external motors to control operation of the internal mechanical components without requiring any hydraulic seals.

A field configurable autonomous vehicle includes modular elements and attachable components. The vehicle can be assembled from these modular elements and components to meet desired mission and performance characteristics without the need to purchase specially designed vehicles for each mission. The vehicle can include a modular propulsion system with magnetic drive.

A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.
