How does BOMATEC approach the development of customer solutions?
BOMATEC supports customers throughout the complete development process, from engineering calculations and magnetic simulations to prototyping, validation and series production. With in-house laboratories, testing facilities and decades of application experience, every solution is optimised for performance, reliability and cost-efficiency.
Which types of permanent magnets are available and what are they used for?
BOMATEC supplies a wide range of permanent magnet technologies, including:
- NdFeB (Neodymium) for maximum magnetic performance.
- SmCo (Samarium-Cobalt) for high-temperature and corrosive environments.
- Ferrite magnets for cost-effective industrial applications.
- Plastic-bonded magnets for complex geometries and sensor systems.
- AlNiCo magnets for measuring technology and specialised applications.
The optimal magnet depends on the application's magnetic strength, operating temperature and environmental requirements.
What is the strongest permanent magnet available?
Sintered neodymium (NdFeB) magnets are the strongest permanent magnets currently available. High-performance grades achieve extremely high magnetic energy and are widely used in electric motors, generators, medical technology and other demanding industrial applications.
Are neodymium magnets stronger than samarium-cobalt (SmCo) magnets?
At room temperature, neodymium magnets provide higher magnetic strength than samarium-cobalt magnets. However, SmCo magnets maintain their magnetic properties at significantly higher operating temperatures and offer outstanding corrosion resistance, making them ideal for aerospace, marine and harsh industrial environments.
What are soft magnetic materials and where are they used?
Soft magnetic materials are designed to efficiently guide magnetic fields while minimising energy losses. BOMATEC supplies strips, composite materials and ferrite cores for applications including electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, power electronics, transformers, inductors and EMC filters.
How does BOMATEC ensure the quality of its products?
Quality is ensured through comprehensive inspection plans, in-house laboratories and advanced testing equipment. BOMATEC performs geometric, magnetic and environmental testing while applying internationally recognised quality standards such as ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. Every production batch is inspected and documented before delivery.
How does BOMATEC reduce eddy current losses in high-performance motors?
BOMATEC has developed innovative magnet segmentation technologies, including its proprietary Snakeline process, to significantly reduce eddy current losses in high-speed electric motors. Lower eddy current losses reduce heat generation, improve efficiency and increase overall motor performance, making the technology particularly valuable for high-speed and high-power applications.
