Zubax Robotics of Estonia has added a new product to its electro-permanent magnets portfolio designed for aerospace and automation applications. The EPM4 combines the advantages of electromagnets and permanent magnets by being able to switch […]
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. […]
Nanotec, a developer of motors, controllers and precision drive solutions based in Germany, has added a new compact magnetic encoder to its product range. Even in harsh environmental conditions, it provides reliable readings because the […]
Accurate motor position sensors are required to ensure the efficient and reliable control of electric machines. Various technical solutions are available but, despite the widespread use of magneto-sensitive sensors in end-of-shaft configurations, such a technology […]
Sensata Technologies, a manufacturer of sensor and motor products many with magnetic-rich designs, has acquired fast-growing Dynapower Company for $580 million in cash in a move that Sensata emphasizes will advance its efforts to serve expanding electrification markets. No stranger to magnetic technologies itself, Dynapower develops energy storage and conversion products including several types of power transformers. […]
Swiss motor manufacturer Portescap has opened a new engineering laboratory in India and, separately, has developed a new high-speed motor with a specialized coil design for enhancing magnetic flux. The new laboratory at its Mumbai […]
Two new brushless DC motors from maxon of Switzerland feature innovative magnetic aspects that enable them to provide important capabilities for design engineers. A frameless brushless-DC motor with new winding technology and a matching encoder really comes into its own in dynamic applications. A new series of flat motors, shown above, also feature special winding technology along with segmented magnets, designed particularly for design engineers grappling with tight spaces. […]
