Strong Magnets in the Automotive and Computer Industry Application The strong magnets (NdFeB magnet) produced by MPCO. NdFeB is a high performance permanent magnet material. The cost of NdFeB permanent magnet material production mainly comes from raw material cost, labor cost and energy consumption cost. MPCO STRONG MAGNETS NdFeB manufacturers have attracted much attention in [...]
Mobile Phone NdFeB Magnets In every phone, high-performance NdFeB magnets are used to two parts at least, one in phone vibration motor, the other is in miniature electro-acoustic device speaker. NdFeB magnets in mobile phone Mobile Phone NdFeB Magnets On the picture, you can see the rare earth permanent magnets in vibration motor [...]
NdFeB Magnets Environmental Protection NdFeB magnets are generally divided into bonded NdFeB and sintered NdFeB. Bonding is actually injection molding. Sintering is vacuum forming through high temperature heating. It can be processed into different types according to various requirements. NdFeB Magnets Environmental Protection The advantages of neodymium-iron-boron magnets are their high performance-to-price ratio [...]
Radially oriented anisotropic NdFeB ring magnets MPCO has developed a unique hot extrusion process to produce Radially oriented anisotropic NdFeB ring magnets. Unlike sintering, this process does not rely on a magnetic field for radial orientation. Our process starts with raw material powders manufactured by rapid quenching of the prescribed alloys into nanocrystalline flakes. These [...]

Available as either absolute or incremental encoders they can provide digital position, analog position, and quadrature speed outputs. Capable of rotational speeds over 20k RPM. Hall IC used for this application uses a diametrically magnetized magnet. Hall Effect through‐shaft encoder. Requires use of Hall IC capable of off‐axis sensing using multipole bonded magnet. Low cost, speed or position sensors typically seen in automotive applications – Cam position, crank position, engine speed, ABS. This type of sensor can be designed for either face or lateral sensing applications and may, in addition to the Hall IC, incorporate a magnet if sensing a metal target or a pole piece if sensing an encoder multipole magnet. What is the best permanent magnet material and process? •It depends; on the weight/space limitations, application operating conditions, operating parameters of the magnetic circuit, annual quantity, device assembly mechanization etc. • Despite have lower flux output bonded magnets can offer advantages over sintered magnets for many applications. • Despite lack of breakthrough in new materials over the last 30 years there are several promising developments in bonded magnets on the horizon. • [...]
Typical Compression Bonded Magnetic Properties Many suppliers publish specifications for a nominal 10 MGOe magnets with a minimum limit of 9 MGOe. Similar for a nominal 11 MGOe magnet; minimum limit is 10 MGOe. Have to design to lower limit of BHmax Typical Compression Bonded Magnetic Properties BHmax Improvement in Compression Bonded Magnets The BHmax of a compression bonded isotropic NdFeB magnet is influenced by the following two factors: 1. Volume fraction of magnetic phase in the magnet – typically measured by the density of the magnet. • We are investigating increasing the pressing pressure which requires special press construction, lubricants and tooling materials – current production pressing pressures are 7tonnes/cm2 for 5.9 g/cm3 and 10MGOe; estimated that > 20 tonnes/cm2 required for 6.3 g/cm3 and > 11 MGOe. • Optimize the particle encapsulation chemistry and process. • Tailored multimodal PSD’s for maximum packing density. • Particle shape control. 2. Magnetic powder Br/BHmax • Increase isotropic Br of powders while maintaining sufficient Hci to have “linear” B‐H demagnetization characteristic at the application temperature.
