Component Specifications

Definition
A magnetic circuit is a closed path formed by magnetic materials that guides and concentrates magnetic flux generated by electrical currents in coils. In torque motors and coil assemblies, it consists of permanent magnets, ferromagnetic cores, and air gaps, designed to maximize magnetic flux density and minimize reluctance for efficient energy conversion from electrical to mechanical torque.
Working Principle
Operates based on Ampere's law and magnetic flux continuity, where electrical current in coils creates a magnetic field that interacts with permanent magnets or other magnetic materials. The circuit's geometry and material properties determine flux distribution, generating torque through Lorentz forces or magnetic attraction/repulsion, with efficiency dependent on minimizing magnetic leakage and hysteresis losses.
Materials
High-permeability silicon steel laminations (e.g., M19, M36 grades), neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) or samarium-cobalt (SmCo) permanent magnets, soft magnetic composites (SMCs), and sometimes ferrites; insulation coatings to reduce eddy currents.
Technical Parameters
  • Coercivity > 800 kA/m for permanent magnets
  • Reluctance < 0.5 H^-1
  • Flux Density 1.2-1.8 T
  • Air Gap Tolerance ±0.05 mm
  • Operating Temperature -40°C to 150°C
Standards
ISO 21782, DIN EN 60317
