basic information
"Somaloy(R)" is a soft magnetic material composed of pure iron powder that has been treated with an insulating coating on its particle surface. It enables the formation of complex-shaped components with high dimensional accuracy through a mold compression process alone, and by utilizing the freedom of 3D net shaping and 3D magnetic circuit design, it achieves miniaturization, lightweighting, and cost reduction that were difficult with conventional electromagnetic steel sheets. [Examples of Suitable Applications] ■ Ultra-flat pancake-type axial gap motors (axial flux type) Axial gap motors using "Somaloy(R)" already have a track record of mass production in various automotive motors! ☆ We are also actively providing design technical support for axial gap motors ☆ ■ Booster reactors for automotive DC/DC boost converters Reactors using "Somaloy(R)" already have a track record of mass production in various automotive applications! ★ We also provide information on the achievements of "Somaloy(R)" ★ For more details, please contact us!
