Product
Ideal for electromagnetic applications
Soft magnetic composites have unique 3D flux properties. This is why they are especially suitable for the production of components used in electromagnetic applications. In many cases they are a substitute for traditional electrical sheets to produce more complex shapes. SMCs are designed for efficient serial production at low cost, utilizing a combination of soft magnetic composite technology and powder metallurgy.
Application Fields
Compressors
Rotors
Compact design
High performance
General
A choice of different qualities
Iron powder particles are compressed by powder metallurgy into complex shapes and coated with an electrically insulating layer. This makes it possible to produce more complex shapes. The magnetic flux can be directed more specifically and concentrated, resulting in a higher performance or a more compact design. BΟΜΑΤEC offers three material categories:
- Somaloy 1P: Base material
- Somaloy 3P: improved mechanical strength and increased permeability
- Somaloy 5P: minimal magnetic losses
PRODUCTION METHODS
Soft magnetic composites, SMC
After the compression moulding followed by heat treatment, the components are ready for the fitting of the magnets.
NOTE
We offer three categories of materials for processing, each varying in suitability depending on the requirements of the end product.
