New Pot Magnet Selection Guide
‘Pot Magnets’ are magnets housed inside a steel shell that protects the magnet against corrosion resistance and increases robustness. Pot Magnet applications are both wide and varied and Bunting’s new simplified product selection guide assesses different application and design criteria to select the optimum Pot Magnet. The Selection Process When considering the optimum Pot Magnet…

Read MorePost Assembly Magnetising at Magnetisation & Measurement Event
Post assembly magnetisation of permanent magnet rotors is one of several papers being presented at the UK Magnetics Society’s ‘Magnetisation & Measurement’ online event on 28th April 2021. The Bunting-sponsored one-day event focuses on the magnetisation of magnets in isolation and in assemblies such as motors, and the associated measurement of magnetic fields. Post Assembly…
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…
