Magnetic coupling

A magnetic coupling (1), comprising:

• two rings (2, 3) that are arranged concentrically in relation to one another, and mounted to be rotatable in relation to one another;
• a separating wall (4) arranged between the rings (2, 3);
• an arrangement (5) of magnetic dipoles (6) on each of the two rings (2, 3);
• wherein a transmission of a torque between the rings (2, 3) is carried out through the separating wall (4) by a magnetic coupling of the magnetic dipoles (6);
• at least one rest position (7) and at least two repulsion positions (8) of the rings (2, 3) are defined by a sequence of the magnetic dipoles (6) of the arrangement (5);
• the at least two repulsion positions (8) are arranged next to one another in a rotational direction (9) and follow the at least one rest position (7) such that two directly adjacent ones of the repulsion positions are defined;
• and
• the at least two repulsion positions (8) are configured with more of the magnetic dipoles (6) of the rings (2, 3) repelling one another than attracting one another in each of said repulsion positions.
