Soft Magnetic Composite Components

Miba's soft magnetic composites are used as actuators as well as in electrical machines. SMC materials stand out because of the compact design and optimized performance capabilities they offer. 

 

Soft Magnetic PM Materials

Miba offers a broad range of soft magnetic materials. From DC applications to AC high frequency applications with up to 10.000 Hz.

 

Altogether our soft magnetic composite components cover a frequency range from 50 Hz to 10.000 Hz. SMC components are compact, lightweight and have a high power density. They are made from iron powder particles and are coated with an electrically insulating layer. As a result, they have increased electrical resistance.

We offer more than soft magnetic composite components

Continuous innovation is one of our core values. Our eMobility team knows how to design the electric motors of tomorrow. We don't just supply the soft magnetic composite components; we supply the complete system - that works perfectly.

Soft magnetic composite components take your motor design to the next level

Powder metallurgy is the optimal solution to produce superior performance in your axial flux and transverse flux motor designs. These are used in automotive, white goods, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) and many other industrial applications.

 

We at Miba have developed an electric motor that is characterized by three key features:

  • slim design
  • seamless integration into the housing
  • easy installation despite delivery without its own motor housing

Soft magnetic materials for low frequency applications

Soft magnetic materials possess high flux density and permeability. Using iron with various alloying elements makes customized magnetic performance possible. Thanks to the high degree of flexibility of the geometry, flux guidance can be customized so the space is used perfectly. In addition, net shape manufacturing enables large-scale production. That's how complex structures can be manufactured cost effectively.

Products that require the best soft magnetic properties include soft magnetic cores, inductors, actuators, and pole cores.
