Product Overview

 

Samarium Cobalt arc magnets are segmented permanent magnets designed specifically for motor rotors and stators. Unlike neodymium, SmCo retains remanence (Br) and intrinsic coercivity (Hci) at operating temperatures up to 350°C with a minimal thermal coefficient (approx. -0.03%/°C).
Production relies on powder metallurgy—vacuum induction melting, jet milling, magnetic alignment pressing, and high-temperature sintering—followed by diamond wheel grinding and wire EDM to form precise arc geometries.

Demagnetization & Thermal Performance Curves

Because permanent magnet behavior changes under thermal and opposing magnetic loads, rotor designers require precise second-quadrant B-H loop data.


Thermal Demagnetization Thresholds: Curves illustrate intrinsic coercivity (Hci) degradation at incremental temperature steps up to 350°C.


Simulation Support: Complete demagnetization curve files compatible with motor design software (such as ANSYS Maxwell or Motor-CAD) are provided upon request during the engineering review stage.

 

 
 
Key Features

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for Sm2Co17 arc magnets?

A: Standard Sm2Co17 grades operate continuously up to 350°C. Exceeding this limit causes irreversible flux loss depending on the magnetic circuit's load line.

Q: Do SmCo arc magnets require plating?

A: Generally, no. Sm2Co17 alloys resist oxidation in normal conditions. Nickel or epoxy coatings are applied only for specialized chemical exposure or electrical insulation.

Q: How do you prevent chipping during assembly?

A: Precision wire EDM and edge-chamfering minimize micro-cracks in the brittle intermetallic material. Mechanical retention fixtures or high-strength structural epoxies are recommended for rotor bonding.

Q: What is the standard lead time?

A: Prototype tooling requires 3 to 4 weeks. Mass production averages 5 to 6 weeks.
