basic information
【Use Cases and Target Audience】 ■ Those who want to try simulations using three-dimensional magnetic circuits leveraging magnetic isotropy. ■ Those who want to perform principle design of simulation models but lack design resources or wish to do so easily. 【Differences from Electrical Steel Sheets】 'Somaloy(R)' reduces losses by insulating each iron powder particle and possesses different magnetic isotropy compared to electrical steel sheets, enabling mechanically complex structures while maintaining magnetic flux in all directions. This feature also effectively aids in heat dissipation, making thermal design easier. 【Advantages of Axial Motors for Electric Motor Applications】 ■ Dimensions and weight can be reduced by up to 60%. 【Main Needs for Automotive Motors】 ■ Desire to increase power density (i.e., miniaturization and cost reduction). ■ Want to install motors in a more space-efficient manner than before. ■ Aim to reduce losses even in high-frequency ranges. 【JMAG Material Partner】 Höganäs is listed as an official product (material) partner of JMAG, providing the 'Somaloy(R)' material database. 【For Those Considering or Interested in Technical Design Support for Axial Gap Motors】 ■ Please feel free to contact us for more details.
