Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic gear has been researched since the early 20th century, and it has been designed through the imitated structure with the conventional mechanical gear as the counterparts. However, after introducing coaxial type magnetic gear, research on the magnetic gear and its applications has expanded tremendously. With the inherent advantages of magnetic gear such as its reliability, maintenance period and cost, vibration and noise, and inherent overload protection, it has attracted attention in the fields of renewable energy systems, marine energy or propulsion applications, aerospace technology, the defense industry, automotive applications, etc. Especially in recent years, the magnetic geared motor has emerged as a major interest in automotive applications, including full electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric bikes, and personal mobility.
Considering the consistent increase in interest by the research community and industry on magnetic gear, this Special Issue on “Applications of Magnetic Gear and Magnetic Geared Machines” aims to cover practical issues related to the design and manufacturing of the magnetic gear and geared machines.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Design and electromagnetic field analysis via the finite element method or analytical method;
- Coupled problems such as electromagnetic–thermal coupling problems, dynamic characteristics analysis, vibration and noise problems, and relevant multiphysics studies;
- Application of magnetic gear and geared machines in renewable energy, traction, and propulsion;
- Novel and innovative designs considering the field of applications;
- Other relevant research with innovative techniques, high-quality, and advanced contents of practical merit.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
