Arc Permanent Magnet refers to permanent magnets manufactured with a curved or arc-shaped geometry, primarily designed to match the circular structure of motor rotors or rotating magnetic systems. This shape allows Arc Permanent Magnet products to closely follow the rotor circumference, improving magnetic flux utilization and reducing air-gap losses. As a result, Arc Permanent Magnet is widely used in synchronous motors, brushless DC motors, servo motors, and other rotating electrical equipment.
Across this category, Arc Permanent Magnet products share common characteristics in functional purpose, magnetic performance, structural design, and application focus. Their primary function is to provide a stable and efficient magnetic field within rotating systems, contributing to torque generation, speed stability, and overall energy efficiency. Due to these characteristics, Arc Permanent Magnet plays a critical role in modern motor technology, especially where compact design and high power density are required.
Working Principle of Arc Permanent Magnet in Equipment
In motor applications, Arc Permanent Magnet is typically mounted on or embedded within the rotor. Its curved geometry ensures close conformity with the stator inner diameter, allowing the magnetic field to be evenly distributed along the air gap. When the stator windings are energized, the interaction between the electromagnetic field and the magnetic field generated by the Arc Permanent Magnet produces rotational torque.
Compared with flat or block-shaped magnets, Arc Permanent Magnet enables more uniform magnetic flux distribution, which helps reduce torque ripple, vibration, and noise in motor operation. This working principle is particularly important in synchronous motors and precision drive systems.
Material Types and Manufacturing Characteristics
Arc Permanent Magnet products are manufactured using several mature permanent magnet material systems, selected according to performance requirements and operating conditions:
-
Sintered NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron)
Provides high remanence, strong coercivity, and high energy product. It is commonly used in high-efficiency synchronous motors, electric vehicles, and industrial automation systems. -
Ferrite (Ceramic Magnets)
Offers stable magnetic performance and good corrosion resistance at a controlled cost, suitable for motors with moderate performance requirements. -
Samarium Cobalt (SmCo)
Features excellent thermal stability and resistance to demagnetization, often used in high-temperature or high-reliability motor applications.
For Arc Permanent Magnet products, dimensional accuracy, arc angle consistency, and magnetization direction (radial or parallel) are critical factors. Ningbo Jinlun Magnet Technology Co., Ltd., with long-term experience in sintered NdFeB manufacturing, supports customized Arc Permanent Magnet solutions for motor-oriented applications, ensuring stable magnetic performance and dimensional consistency.
