Technical Background on Laminated Magnet.
As the demand for more efficient and powerful motors for modern high-performance motor and electromagnetic applications grows, so does the need to reduce energy losses, especially those caused by eddy currents. Motor eddy currents generate heat and energy losses, which can severely affect the efficiency of a motor or generator, and can even cause magnetic materials to overheat and demagnetize prematurely. Laminated magnets are particularly important in this context, addressing these challenges by reducing the formation of eddy currents. Laminated magnet structures interrupt the eddy current paths, significantly reducing their size and associated energy losses. This makes laminated magnets particularly valuable in high-performance applications where efficiency and reliability are critical.
What Are Laminated Magnets?
Laminated magnets are specially designed magnetic components that are cut and stacked with multiple thin layers or magnetic materials (the entire stack has the same polarity), also known as segmented magnets. These magnet layers are bonded together with insulating materials to form independent magnets that are insulated from each other, thereby reducing eddy current losses.
The main materials are made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) and samarium cobalt (SmCo), both of which are known for their strong magnetic properties and excellent performance in a variety of environments. The insulating material between the magnet layers is usually a non-conductive coating such as epoxy or polyimide, which effectively prevents the formation of eddy currents.
The use of laminated magnets is an important advancement in motor technology, helping the industry to continue to push the limits of electric motors and generators. They can improve performance while alleviating some common magnetic issues.
In summary, laminated magnets provide an advanced solution to the challenges posed by eddy currents and high-temperature demagnetization. By properly using laminated magnets in motor product development, higher efficiency, better thermal management and longer-lasting magnetic performance can be achieved. These are key factors in today’s competitive and demanding technical environment.
What Are the Benefits of Using Laminated Magnets?
Laminated magnets are manufactured using magnet splitting technology, making them ideal for high resistivity magnets (uniform magnetic field across the surface). They offer several key benefits.
- The most important benefit is reduced eddy current losses. By breaking up the conductive path inside the magnet, the laminated structure limits the formation of eddy currents, which reduces heat generation and reduces energy waste.
- Higher thermal stability. In applications where temperature fluctuations are common, the insulating layers within the magnet help balance power and heat, reducing the negative effects that can lead to overheating. This makes laminated magnets ideal for high-frequency applications such as electric motors.
- Laminated magnets can also be customized to meet specific application needs. Whether you require a specific layer thickness, magnetic orientation, or custom shape and size, laminated magnets have the flexibility to be designed to provide the exact performance characteristics required for a specific application.
By choosing laminated magnets from a trusted supplier like Osencmag, you gain the technical advantages of this advanced magnetic solution, ensuring that each laminated magnet meets the specific needs of your application, from precise layer thickness to optimal magnetic orientation.

What materials and coatings are available for laminated magnets?
When it comes to laminated magnets, the choice of materials and coatings plays a critical role in determining the magnet’s performance, durability, and suitability for specific applications. Osencmag’s manufacturing facilities use high-quality materials and coatings that can be customized to the precise needs of a customer’s project, ensuring optimal results and long-term reliability.
Materials:
The core materials used in laminated magnets are primarily Neodymium (NdFeB) and Samarium Cobalt (SmCo). Neodymium magnets are well-known for their exceptional magnetic strength, making them the go-to choice for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. However, they are more susceptible to corrosion and may have lower thermal stability compared to Samarium Cobalt. This is where Samarium Cobalt shines, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, making it ideal for environments where the magnets are exposed to extreme conditions.
The choice between Neodymium and Samarium Cobalt depends on the specific requirements of your application. For instance, if your project demands maximum magnetic strength and operates in a controlled environment, Neodymium might be the best fit. On the other hand, if your application involves high temperatures or corrosive environments, Samarium Cobalt offers superior performance and longevity.Our professional engineers will give you the best advice based on the information obtained from communicating with you during the early stages of your order.
Coatings:
To enhance the durability and performance of laminated magnets, various coatings can be applied. These coatings provide additional protection against environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and physical wear, which can otherwise degrade the magnet over time.
- Epoxy Coating: Epoxy is a popular choice for its excellent adhesion and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress.
- Nickel Coating: Nickel is popular for its strong corrosion resistance and smooth surface, and is particularly useful in applications where the magnets are exposed to wet or corrosive environments.
- Polyimide Coating: Polyimide is known for its high thermal stability and insulation properties, making it an excellent choice for extreme temperature applications. It can maintain its performance under harsh thermal conditions.
- Custom Coatings: Depending on your specific needs, we can also provide custom coatings for your application. These coatings may include Teflon for non-stick properties, gold for increased conductivity, rubber for increased impact resistance and grip, parylene, titanium or phosphating, among other diverse options.
Selecting the right materials and coatings for laminated magnets is critical to ensuring their performance and longevity. High-quality materials combined with a rigorous and precise bonding and cutting process produce highly stressed laminated magnets. With Osencmag’s extensive experience in custom magnet production, we can select the right materials and coatings for our customers’ laminated magnet orders.
