Linear Magnetic Brakes Linear permanent magnet brakes, also known as eddy current brakes, are a fail safe, power free, deceleration system that is used in conjunction with a metal reaction plate. Ceramic or rare earth magnets are bonded to a steel back iron plate. No input power is required. They are used in applications such [...]
Magnetic Theory and Design 1. Can you explain the difference between coercive force and intrinsic coercive force? The intrinsic coercive force is the coercivity of a magnet material in a closed circuit configuration. A closed circuit configuration means the magnet does not have any exposed poles. Some examples of a closed circuit configuration are a [...]
Permanent Magnet Appearance 1, Can customers specify appearance requirements? Yes. MPCO MAG was founded upon the ideology of custom solutions. We encourage customers to specify mechanical and/or appearance requirements. Of course, if no customer-specific standards are stated, MPCO adheres to its own Permanent Magnets Workmanship and Appearance Standard. 2, Does MPCO Magnetic Technologies have standards [...]
Magnets Shipment MPCO is an expert in magnetic materials and customers rely on us to ensure that all rules and regulations are being followed for shipping of magnetic materials. All personnel responsible for shipping magnets by air are trained for that purpose. We have cooperated 10 years forwarders for express TNT, or DHL by express [...]
Researchers Developing Sustainable 3D Printed Super Magnets An additive manufacturing breakthrough coming out of TU Graz in Austria could make it easier to manufacture permanent magnets for small electronic components. A TU Graz team—working in collaboration with the University of Vienna, the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Joanneum Research—has successfully manufactured super magnets using a [...]
Microbes Can Recover Rare-Earth Magnet Materials From Consumer Waste Recycling these materials critical into high-tech products could be crucial as the cost to mine and refine them continue to climb. Rare earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium and dysprosium are essential for technologies like solar and wind energy, advanced vehicles, and modern electronics like smartphones. [...]
Can 3D-Printed Magnets Replace Rare Earth Magnets? Additive manufacturing can turn everyday magnetic material into alternatives for expansive rare-earth magnets. Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal printing to turn permanent magnet material into an economical alternative to more expensive rare-earth neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets. The researchers experimented with [...]
Reconfigurable 3D-printable Magnets with improved maximum energy product In conventional magnets, neodymium with added heavy rare-earths is used in order to induce high output and size reduction. But as deposits of heavy rare-earths such as dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) are disproportionately distributed, it is important to reduce the amount used due to supply issues [...]
China's NdFeB Magnetic Material Demand Growth can be Expected In 2020 The amount of rare earth neodymium iron boron increases year by year almost, indispensable, so about 2020 our country neodymium iron boron amount, do you think will continue to increase? What new areas will be added? Some point out: in the next few years [...]
Permanent Magnet Generators Offer Improved Performance for RE Production Permanent magnets have been used to provide the magnetic field in small to medium sized generators for many years. The use of these in large renewable energy (RE)generators may offer performance advantages for future utility-scale generators. Large (MW sized) permanent magnet generators (PMGs) are mainly found [...]
What kind of magnet used in linear motor? Linear motor, mainly used in some of the automatic control system, one transmission device converting electrical energy directly into linear motion . Because it is a new and high technology, applied more and more, so the overall prospect is pretty good. A lot of people ask, linear [...]
