  • Wellbore motor having magnetic gear drive
    Patent number: 7549467
    Abstract: A wellbore motor includes a source of rotational motive power disposed in a wellbore, a magnetic gear member operatively coupled at an input thereof to the source; and a magnetic gear member output coupled rotationally to a rotary wellbore tool.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2009
    Assignee: Dexter Magnetic Technologies, Inc.

  • Wellbore valve having linear magnetically geared valve actuator
    Patent number: 7487829
    Abstract: A wellbore valve includes a valve operator arranged to move axially along an interior of the wellbore, the valve operator arranged to operate a valve. A valve actuator is disposed proximate the valve operator. The valve actuator is arranged to move from one longitudinal position to another. A linear magnetic gear is coupled at an input element thereof to the valve actuator. The gear is coupled at an output element thereof to the valve operator such that motion of the valve actuator is transferred to the valve operator.
