Coatings on Neodymium Magnets

The Crucial Role of Coatings on Neodymium Magnets

In the world of modern engineering, where precision and efficiency reign supreme, the significance of coatings on neodymium (neo) and other rare earth magnets cannot be overstated. These tiny powerhouses of magnetic strength play pivotal roles in countless applications, from electric vehicles to medical devices and beyond.

Coatings act as a barrier, safeguarding the integrity of the magnet and preserving its magnetic properties over time. Tailored coatings can enhance specific characteristics, such as temperature resistance or adhesion, further expanding the versatility of rare earth magnets across diverse industries.

At Allstar Magnetics, we understand the critical role coatings play in maximizing the potential of rare earth magnets. With our expertise and cutting-edge solutions, we stand ready to partner with you in harnessing the full power of these remarkable magnets while ensuring their durability and reliability in any environment.

Multipole Radial Ring Magnets

Multipole Radial Ring Magnets

LiDAR TECHNOLOGY

Posted February 1, 2022

Radially-oriented ring magnets are a unique subset of NdFeB sintered magnets. Using proprietary technologies, a multipole ring can be sintered into a truly radial geometry. This replaces the costly and labor-intensive method of gluing arcs, bread loaves or rectangular segments onto a rotor shaft.

Allstar Magnetics now offers high-efficiency multipole Neodymium (NdFeB) magnetic rings. These rings are revolutionizing the permanent magnet space for synchronous motors, stepper motors and DC brushless motors widely used in automotive, specialty electronics, and medical applications.

Magnets are pressed to produce sintered NdFeB magnets. This process consists of combining base powders, pressing the resulting material, and then baking or sintering the resulting ring to achieve a radially magnetized product.

This new technology improves the uniformity of magnetic flux for increased motor efficiency and torque.  Other benefits include ease of assembly, superior mechanical properties and eliminates the re-work associated with chipped discrete magnets.

Contact our Engineering Design team today for more information and product specifications for radial ring magnets.

Year End Metals Pricing Review

Year End Metals Pricing Review

by | Jan 25, 2022 | Industry News

Posted January 25, 2022

2021 ended with PrNd pricing doubled for the year and double digit increases in prices for the key raw materials used in NdFe (Neo) and SmCo. Metal prices are expected to remain high in 2022.  (This information should not be used for investment purposes)

2021 data for materials used in magnetic cores show double digit price increases though slightly less than the increases in permanent magnet raw materials.  We will continue to monitor and report out monthly.

We highly recommend that customers place blanket or other long-term contracts to guarantee an uninterrupted flow of materials. At Allstar, managing the supply chain is a critical component of our services and we are monitoring the situation closely. Check our email blasts and “News Posts” for monthly updates.

Magnetics® Cores

Allstar is a proud distributor of Magnetics® products. We offer high-quality powder cores, ferrite cores and tape wound cores for applications such as chokes, inductors, filters, transformers and power supply components.  Magnetics now offers two new families of products with enhanced performance features – Kool for high frequency, and Edge for lower losses and improved DC bias. View information and stocking info below for Kool Mµ® Hƒ and Edge® powder cores.

Kool Mu® Hf Powder Cores

Kool Mµ® Hƒ powder cores are made from distributed gap alloy powder optimized for frequencies 200-500 kHz. Exhibiting approximately 35% lower losses when compared to Kool Mµ, Kool Mµ Hƒ is a cost-effective solution for minimizing power losses in high frequency power supplies using GaN or SiC, high efficiency power supplies, and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).

Edge® Powder Cores

Designed for cutting edge performance, Edge® cores offer the best DC bias of all alloy powder cores. When compared with High Flux, Edge displays approximately 40% lower losses and 30% improvement in DC bias. Applications include Rack Mount Power Supplies, Telecom Servers, Switching Regulator Inductors, In-Line Noise Filters, Flyback Transformers, Power Factor Correction (PFC), and Pulse Transformers. Choose Edge for highest efficiency.
