Features & Benefits
A uniform Somaloy® component has the ability to carry magnetic flux in 3 directions (3D). This feature, together with the 3D-shaping possibilities of the P/M process, enables improved or new topologies to be used in electrical machine designs.
The key to success lies in machine designs that utilize these unique shaping opportunities, which open the way to smaller motors with cost advantages gained from lower winding volume, a higher fill factor and built-in assembly features.

The proven ability of the powder metallurgy industry to supply components with good tolerances and consistent properties is now available to the electrical machine industry. SMC stators can be designed with:
- 3D flux paths for new topologies
- Built-in assembly features for mounting
- Built-in magnetic features such as skew
- Smooth, rounded features allowing tighter winding and/or thinner insulation
- Subdivided stators for modular assembly
- Modular assembly for cost-effective refurbishment
This generation of new ideas is an exciting phase, which can lead to a new era of innovative motors. |
