Magnetisers & Magnet Setters
Record Year for Magnetising Equipment Sales
Sales of Magnetising Equipment in 2021 hit an all-time record high for Bunting’s Berkhamsted, UK operation. The success is the result of ongoing development of a wide range of bench-top and industrial magnetisers, as well as magnet setters. Magnetiser Development Bunting is unique as a company designing and manufacturing both magnetising equipment and magnets. The…
Read MoreMagnetising Fixture Winding for Magnet Ring Sensor Project
Bunting’s engineering team work with companies on many magnet product designs, from concept through to manufacture. This project focused on the feasibility of designing, manufacturing, and supplying a permanent magnet ring to produce a sinusoidally varying flux density waveform for a sensor application. A sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes a…
Read MoreBunting Magnet Test and Development Centre Investment
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. Bunting’s Berkhamsted operation is responsible for the design and manufacture of magnets, magnet assemblies, and magnetising equipment. The range of applications for…
Read MoreExhibition Success for Bunting-Berkhamsted
Exhibiting at two shows, in different parts of Europe, over the same two days, was challenging for the Bunting-Berkhamsted team, but proved exceptionally successful. Whilst Matthew Swallow managed the stand at the Cenex LCV event at UTAC Millbrook in the UK, Stefano Maiaroli and Dr Chris Riley were in Pordenone in Italy at the Coiltech…
Read MoreMagnetising and Magnet Technology at Coiltech Italia 2021
With a growth in sales of magnetising equipment and magnet assemblies into Italy in 2021, Bunting-Berkhamsted is exhibiting at the 12th Coiltech Italian 2021 international trade fair (stand 8-D27). Coiltech also hosts the World Magnetic Conference. The exhibition focuses on materials and machinery for the production and maintenance of electric motors, generators, power and distribution…
Read MoreNew Magnet Setter Demonstration Unit
In response to an increase in magnet design projects, Bunting-Berkhamsted has added a new Magnet Setter demonstration unit to their testing house. The BMCS-1510 Magnet Setter magnetises and sets Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) and AlNiCo magnets when connected to a compatible magnetising fixture. The magnet setter features a built in gaussmeter for measuring the magnetic field…
Read MoreMagnetics Importance for Electric Vehicles at Cenex-LCV
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). In particular focus is the technique of magnetizing magnet assemblies after construction, which offers a wide range of benefits including accuracy and safety. The LCV…
Read MoreMagnetiser and Magnet Setter Export Success
Successful implementation of an overseas business development strategy has resulted in orders from Italy for a bespoke Industrial Magnetiser, complete with control cabinet, and a Magnet Setter. Bunting’s UK engineering design team will design, build and test the magnetisers, control and magnet setter. Industrial Magnetisers and Magnet Setters enable the charging of both permanent magnets…
Read MoreAlNiCo Magnet Setter Development
Bunting engineers have developed a new Magnet Setter for AlNiCo magnets. AlNiCo Magnet Properties AlNiCo’s relatively low coercive force (Hc) means that the magnet material is easily magnetised to saturation, as well as fully or partially demagnetized by external fields. This makes an AlNiCo magnet easy to magnetise when part of an assembly, but could…
Read MoreImportance of Engineering Apprenticeships
When 21-year-old Ryan Haig-Godden finished wiring his first solo magnetiser panel project, it marked another important step in a three-year training journey and highlighted the importance of engineering apprenticeships. As Bunting is one of only a small number of global designers and builders of magnetisers, connecting the components within the magnetiser panel and building the…
