Soft magnetic composites.
SMC’s are characterized by their ability to efficiently control magnetic fields. The porous structure of SMC allows for complex magnetic flux paths, enabling compact and energy-efficient electromagnetic designs.
01Why SMC
General SMC design principles.
Soft magnetic composites can support complex magnetic flux paths. Callo’s published website describes SMC as suitable for compact, energy-efficient electromagnetic designs.
Callo also publishes high permeability, low losses and powder-metallurgy production of intricate components as general SMC benefits. Callo-specific material, process and application suitability must be confirmed for each project.
High permeability, low losses
SMC’s high permeability and low losses make it well-suited for applications across industries.
Complex flux paths
The structure of SMC allows for complex magnetic flux paths, enabling compact and energy-efficient electromagnetic designs.
Net-shape geometry
Pressed to shape, so features that would be impossible to laminate come straight out of the tool.
From EV to automation
Callo names electric vehicles and industrial automation as the industries where SMC is being applied.
01Why it works
What this gives an engineer.
- High permeability with low losses
- Three-dimensional flux paths that laminated steel cannot follow
- Compact, energy-efficient electromagnetic designs
- Cost-effective production of intricate SMC components through powder metallurgy
- Net-shape geometry — the magnetic circuit and the mechanical part can be the same component
02Where it ends up
Typical applications.
- Electric vehicles
- Industrial automation
- Actuators and solenoids
- Sensors and ignition systems
- Compact electrical machines
Typical uses for this component type. Callo does not publish a customer list, and none is implied here.
Engineering support
Discuss SMC requirements before fixing the design.
Flux path, geometry, material and manufacturing constraints interact. Confirm the applicable design rules and Callo capabilities directly for the project.
