Frequently Asked Questions
What does BOMATEC mean by performance?
For BOMATEC, performance means more than simply supplying magnets. The company develops holistic solutions covering material selection, magnetic design, production and engineering processes.
The guiding question is always whether a solution can be made better, faster or more cost-effective. This approach helps BOMATEC optimise the performance, efficiency and reliability of high-tech magnets and magnet systems.
In which industries does BOMATEC apply its expertise?
BOMATEC develops tailor-made magnetic solutions for demanding applications in industries including:
- Automotive
- E-mobility
- Renewable energies
- Medical technology
- Smart factory and industrial automation
For each application, BOMATEC considers the complete system, from the magnetic material and component geometry to manufacturing, testing and final integration.
How does BOMATEC improve the performance of magnetic systems?
BOMATEC improves magnetic-system performance through application-specific material selection, magnetic simulation, component optimisation and suitable manufacturing technologies. Factors such as magnetic strength, coercivity, operating temperature, corrosion resistance, tolerances and system cost are evaluated together.
This system-level approach helps identify the most technically and economically suitable solution instead of focusing only on the performance of the individual magnet.
How does BOMATEC reduce eddy current losses in electric drive systems?
Eddy currents in magnets can generate heat, reduce effective remanence and lower the efficiency of electric motors. BOMATEC analyses these losses using in-house analytical software and finite element analysis tools.
Where technically beneficial, the magnets can be segmented using conventional glued segments or BOMATEC's SNAKELINE wire-EDM process. Segmentation interrupts the current paths inside the magnet and can reduce heat generation and improve motor performance. Further information is available on the Innovations page.
Can BOMATEC estimate eddy current losses in magnets?
Yes. BOMATEC uses in-house analytical software for a fast initial estimate of eddy current losses. Finite element analysis can then be used to simulate and compare different magnet geometries and segmentation concepts in greater detail.
For a complete motor-level loss analysis, BOMATEC can extend the evaluation together with its sister company Steeem.
What engineering and simulation services does BOMATEC offer?
BOMATEC provides magnetic design and optimisation using finite element analysis tools such as Opera and ANSYS, analytical magnetic-modelling tools and dedicated CAD systems.
Its prototyping facility in Switzerland supports rapid development and validation before production is transferred to the manufacturing facilities. Complete motor-level engineering support is available through the sister company Steeem.
How does BOMATEC ensure quality right through to delivery?
BOMATEC inspects every batch supplied by its selected manufacturing partners according to a defined article-specific inspection plan. The checks are documented and confirmed with a test report before delivery.
BOMATEC performs geometric, magnetic and environmental testing using equipment such as coordinate measuring machines, magnetic field measurement systems, climatic chambers and salt-spray testing systems.
How can I discuss a performance-optimised magnetic solution with BOMATEC?
For application-specific enquiries and tailor-made magnetic solutions, Philippe Scheuber, Head of Sales, can be contacted through the contact form or callback service.
Providing information about the application, operating temperature, available installation space, required magnetic performance and production volumes helps BOMATEC evaluate the most suitable solution.
