Magnetising Fixture Winding for Magnet Ring Sensor Project
Bunting’s engineering team work with companies on many magnet product designs, from concept through to manufacture. This project focused on the feasibility of designing, manufacturing, and supplying a permanent magnet ring to produce a sinusoidally varying flux density waveform for a sensor application. A sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes a…
Read MoreMagnetics Importance for Electric Vehicles at Cenex-LCV
Magnets and magnet assemblies, both essential for transport electrification, are the focus for Bunting on stand C4-106 at Cenex-LCV (UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground, Bedfordshire, UK, 23rd to 24th September 2021). In particular focus is the technique of magnetizing magnet assemblies after construction, which offers a wide range of benefits including accuracy and safety. The LCV…
Read MoreAlNiCo Magnet Setter Development
Bunting engineers have developed a new Magnet Setter for AlNiCo magnets. AlNiCo Magnet Properties AlNiCo’s relatively low coercive force (Hc) means that the magnet material is easily magnetised to saturation, as well as fully or partially demagnetized by external fields. This makes an AlNiCo magnet easy to magnetise when part of an assembly, but could…
Read MoreMagnets and Magnet Assemblies for Defence Applications
Globally, permanent rare earth magnets play a major role in defence technology. They feature in a diverse range of applications including missile guidance systems, disk-drive motors in aircraft and tanks, satellite communications, and radar and sonar systems. Indeed, rare earth magnets are a critical component of a vast number of cutting-edge defence applications and a…
Read MoreAn Introduction to the Halbach Array
Halbach Arrays feature in many common-day devices such as brushless DC motors and even the Inductrack Maglev train. The Halbach Array is a specific arrangement of permanent magnets that cancels the magnetic field to nearly zero on one side, but significantly increases the strength of the magnetic field on the opposite side. This magnetic phenomenon…
Read MoreBespoke Pot Magnet Design for Oil and Gas Application
An international Oil and Gas company turned to Bunting when investigating designs for a novel magnetic system to act as a pressure relief valve. The Pot Magnet assembly design requirements were complex with a number of significant technical challenges. The initial design evaluation identified that the bespoke magnet assembly would be based on a simple…
