Arnold Magnetic Technologies Component

Shaped Field Magnets

Model SFM

Patented magnets with a deliberately shaped field that concentrates flux in the working zone, for rotating equipment and sensor systems.

Description

Arnold's patented Shaped Field Magnet (SFM) technology shapes the magnetic field during manufacturing – through compression, sintering and field alignment – shifting the field toward one side of the magnet instead of the uniform field of a conventional magnet.

Key features

  • Higher field strength in the working zone for a given magnet mass and size
  • Option to substitute higher-temperature, lower-remanence materials
  • More design freedom
  • Reduced system weight
  • Can replace standard magnets in existing equipment

Applications

New rotating equipment and sensor systems, and retrofit of standard magnets in existing equipment.
