Cost-Efficient Magnet Technologies
AML Revolutionizes Magnet Supply Chain with PM-Wire Technology
Georgia Wray Norsten — November 5, 2024Advanced Magnet Lab (AML), based in Melbourne, Florida, is transforming the magnet supply chain with groundbreaking technology that reduces material and manufacturing costs while boosting product performance. Known for innovative solutions, AML has introduced PM-Wire™ technology, which offers a new approach to magnet design and production, moving away from traditional methods.
Instead of cutting small pieces from magnet blocks, PM-Wire™ uses a wire-like manufacturing process, allowing precise control over critical parameters. This flexible approach is compatible with various magnet alloys, including those without rare-earth elements, paving the way for more efficient and cost-effective motor designs.
The impact of PM-Wire™ is evident in practical applications like PM-AXIAL™, which optimizes industrial motors for higher efficiency, and PM-360™, which simplifies electric vehicle motor design by reducing the need for active cooling. With these advancements, AML not only enhances performance but also works towards reducing reliance on rare-earth materials, aligning with sustainable and efficient practices in magnet technology.
