  • Publication number: 20150177696
    Abstract: The invention concerns a magnetic device for regulating the relative angular velocity of a wheel and of at least one magnetic dipole integral with an oscillating device, said wheel or said dipole being driven by a driving torque, said wheel including a periodic, ferromagnetic pole path which alternates according to a center angle and said at least one dipole being arranged to permit magnetic coupling with said ferromagnetic path and oscillation of said dipole at the natural frequency of the oscillating element during the relative motion of the wheel and of the magnetic dipole to regulate said relative angular velocity, said device being characterized in that said wheel further includes means for dissipating the kinetic energy of said at least one dipole when it moves away from said ferromagnetic path.
