Bunting has designed and built a bespoke industrial magnetiser for an automotive electric vehicle application. The latest industrial magnetiser magnetises a permanent magnet rotor assembly for a high-end automotive traction motor.

The industrial magnetising system charges and tests a magnet rotor assembly, which forms part of a new Transit electric power unit presently under development.

Post-assembly magnetisation of permanent magnet rotors is the most cost effective and accurate way to produce these vital components for electric vehicle motors. Bunting is promoting such post-assembly magnetising manufacturing techniques on stand C4-607 at the Cenex LCV Event (7-8 September, UTAC, Millbrook, UK).

Bunting has invested in expanding their Test and Development Centre at Berkhamsted in the UK where they specialise in the design, test and build of a wide range of magnet and magnetic technologies.

Magnets and magnet assemblies, both essential for transport electrification, are the focus for Bunting on stand C4-106 at Cenex-LCV (UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground, Bedfordshire, UK, 23rd to 24th September 2021).

Bunting’s range of Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Rare Earth Magnets now includes the XGS33 grade, which provides higher stability and magnetic performance at raised temperatures. Such performance characteristics are critical in applications for the automotive, aerospace and electronics sectors.

The new Everlube anti-corrosion magnet coating combats the increasingly arduous working environments for magnets and magnetic components. The Everlube coating prevents oxidation and deterioration of high-powered permanent neodymium rare earth magnets.
