Magnets
The Future Is Magnetic
A Review of the UK Magnetics Society’s Ewing Event 2018 This year’s 31st Ewing Event, organised by the UK Magnetics Society and sponsored by Bunting Magnetics, focused on the important role of ‘magnets’ in the future. Indeed, it is widely recognised that magnetic fields are the ideal, low-energy way for creating motion. At the event, there…
Read MoreInjection Moulded Plastic Magnet Assembly
Bunting’s engineering design team was asked by a customer to reduce the cost of a magnet assembly. The magnet assembly formed part of a magnetic coupling with a specific torque ratio. However, due to the manufacturing process, the cost of assembly was high. Subsequently, the team looked at an injection moulded plastic magnet assembly. Injection…
Read MoreBespoke Magnetiser for Electronics Application
High strength magnets (e.g. Neodymium Rare Earth) are a vital part in many everyday electric appliances. Charging those small magnets for use in electronics applications often requires a high degree of accuracy. One typical example is where the magnet interacts with a sensor to confirm that a component is correctly in place. Subsequently, Bunting designed…

Neodymium (NdeFeB) Rare Earth Magnets are used throughout industry and, as demand increases from the Energy, Automotive, Aerospace and Down Hole markets, the drive is towards producing magnets that have the highest magnetic energy under the harshest of conditions such as: These are typical applications where the Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Rare Earth Magnet has been…
Read MoreOffices Would No Longer Function Without Magnets
Stating that an office would not be able to function without the presence of magnets is pretty bold. Immediately you are thinking that there are other ways to pin notices to white boards or neatly store paperclips. Important, maybe, but these are not critical to our daily life in work. So, if magnets were removed…

Read MoreEver Increasing Rare Earth Metals Demand
Technology Driving Up Rare Earth Magnet Prices The global market for rare earth metals will be worth an estimated US$ 7362 million by 2026, according to Future Market Insights. This projection equates to a compound annual growth of 8.5%. The growth in demand is expected to put pressure on prices. The vast majority of Rare…
Read MoreThe Importance of Year of Engineering
Supporting Promoting Engineering to Young People The UK government has announced that 2018 will be the Year of Engineering, a national campaign to increase awareness and understanding of what engineers do among young people aged 7-16, their parents and their teachers. This is part of a year-long campaign to tackle the engineering skills gap and widen the…
