Soft Magnetic Solutions From Bunting at PCIM 2022

Bunting is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetising equipment, magnet assemblies and a supplier of both hard and soft magnetic products. The Bunting European engineering and manufacturing facilities are in Berkhamsted and Redditch, both in the United Kingdom.

PCIM Europe is the world's leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management.

At PCIM, a significant proportion of the technology operates using magnetic forces. Bunting specializes in working with product designers to maximise the magnetic performance of a core. With the ongoing demand for greater efficiency and sensitivity of operation, companies work with Bunting’s specialist team of magnetics engineers to design the optimum solution.

The recent acquisition of MagDev extends Bunting’s specialist product portfolio and engineered solutions. The extensive range of soft magnetics products includes powder cores (iron and alloy), soft ferrites, strip wound cores (amorphous, nanocrystalline as well as silicon steel and nickel alloys), and wound components. Fully Sintered Crushed Powder (FSCP) is also supplied through the milling and screening specialist Pilamec, also a member of the Bunting Group.

Soft Magnetics Benefits

Many power supply designers are assessing the key benefits of the various soft magnetics materials. Super-fast switching power supplies depend on high efficiency minimal size of components, so choosing the right magnetic solution is paramount for success.

Bunting’s engineering team specializes in identifying the best magnetic solution, for optimization of cost, size and performance.

“The demand for efficiency gains in power electronics has never been greater,” explained Simon Ayling, Bunting’s European Managing Director. “With the MagDev range of products and expertise, we [Bunting] are uniquely position with the capability to offer the right soft magnetic solution.”
