In two recent developments, power equipment manufacturer Hitachi Energy has acquired COET, an Italian specialist in high-voltage switching products, and has also extended its transient voltage protection technology into liquid-filled distribution transformers. It combats the […]
NASA’s deep-space mission to the Psyche asteroid involves a variety of cutting-edge magnetic technologies for precision measurement as well as electrified propulsion. The Psyche spacecraft includes many unavoidable magnetic field sources, which must be accounted for to measure the magnetic field signature of the metal-rich asteroid. It won’t be long now … hold on until 2029 when it reaches orbit at the distant target. […]
Oncore Motor Group, led by CEO Grant Bibby, has acquired long-time electric motor manufacturer Reuland Electric of City Of Industry, California only about a year after Bibby sold lamination manufacturer Orchid Monroe. Oncore indicates that […]

Murata has announced its new Parasitic Element Coupling Device. This state-of-the-art solution improves antenna efficiency by magnetically coupling the parasitic element with the antenna and is the world’s first solution designed for Wi-Fi 6E and […]
Score another replacement of hydraulics by permanent-magnet motors with a new purely electric brake system introduced by automotive supplier ZF. Braking force is generated at each wheel by an electric motor bypassing the need for […]
Motor manufacturer Nidec has made significant expansions to its capabilities recently through two corporate acquisitions plus adding new manufacturing plants in India and Serbia. All involve various degrees of magnetic technology and add new dimensions to Nidec’s market presence. It has:
acquired Houma Armature, a motor and generator service company in the USA;
acquired Midori Precisions, a producer of potentiometers and encoders in Japan;
opened two new factories in Serbia to meet growing demand for automotive motors and inverters in Europe while establishing a center for a cluster of future manufacturing operations;
added a new manufacturing plant in India for producing e-bike motors.
In December, it held an opening ceremony for the new, second building of its existing factory in Neemrana, India where it will now manufacture drive motors for electric bikes with an output of 30kW or less. The existing factory produces automotive, appliance, commercial, and industrial motors. Global sales of electric two-wheel vehicles are expected to grow from 2.6 million units in 2020 to 13 million units in 2030. Nidec plans to tap into the demand by manufacturing 90,000 e-bike motors per month at the factory. […]
