Introduction & Specifications

Magnetic Metals Corp has over 30 years experience manufacturing soft magnetic strip cores using grain oriented silicon steel, nickel, cobalt and amorphous alloys. We strive to produce the highest quality tape-wound cores in the industry, that mechanically and electrically meet your requirements and our product specifications. We excel in custom magnetic applications. However a standard core exceeds industry standards in many areas: Wide selection of raw materials suitable for a broad range of applications Precision material slitting Superior high dielectric nickel, cobalt and amorphous metal coatings State-of-the-art heat treating and stress relief annealing Bonded with high temperature, heat stable, epoxy resins. Cores are typically heat stable to 350F (175C) and up to 425F (218C) with special processing Precision cutting The mating surfaces of our cores are polished to a minimal air gap of typically 0.75 thousandths of an inch Mating surfaces are beveled to reduce delamination Chemical treatment of polished surfaces to maximize corrosion resistance Mechanical tolerances are held to EIA standard RS-217-A for C cores. All other configurations are to specified tolerances Each core is marked with a part number and date code for traceability Robust packing is used to prevent damage for shipment around the world

There is much that can be done to customize a core to meet your specific needs. Some of the processes that can improve a cores performance are detailed in the following bullets: Double impregnation eliminates loose laminations that may vibrate when the core is excited. This combined with diamond lapping further reduces gap vibration and acoustical noise Diamond lapping also reduces gap volt-amps (VA) for lowest possible current. Both low noise and gap VA can be assured by diamond lapping to an approximate 0.15 thousandths of an inch surface flatness A special thermal cycle can be performed to minimize gap shifting for the ultimate in low noise performance or to compensate for operating temperatures up to a maximum of 425F (218C). This is a desirable option when normal gap shift during thermal cycling cannot be tolerated Epoxy coating can be substituted for taping when it is necessary to wind directly on the core or maximum protection against high voltage breakdown is required Toroids can be cut on the center-line or gapped to meet an inductance or a customer required gap spacing Multiple gaps can be cut in a core to reduce fringe flux and gap power losses Rounded or beveled edges can be made to reduce corona or delamination Nonstandard or unusual shapes and sizes can be engineered for novel applications Special mechanical and electrical testing can be performed to insure conformance to your design requirements. For example, we can perform pulse testing for pulse widths down to 100 nanoseconds and pulse energies up to 4 joules with complete waveform analysis capability

The pages in this section include a table of contents for the complete catalogue and the product specifications. The specifications section covers material specifications for cut cores and toroids, and mechanical tolerances for C, E and uncased toroids. This terminology is mostly descriptive of the shape of individual cut core sections, when looking down on the exposed lamination edges. A toroid refers to a circular shaped core, including cuts if present. The figures show a typical E core, C core and Toroid.

Instructions for use: To convert from units in a column on the

left to units in a column on the right, multiply by the numbers in the column in-between. For example, if it is desired to convert tesla to gauss, multiply the flux density or magnetic induction by 104 or 10000, the number between tesla on the left and gauss on the right, to get flux density in gauss. Thus 1.5 tesla is 15,000 gauss or 15 kilogauss. Conversely, the conversion from gauss to tesla is done by using 10-4, the number between gauss on the left and tesla on the right, as the conversion factor. A second example follows. If it is necessary to convert from joules to ergs, then look down the MKS unit column for joule. Select the number to the right of joule, which is 107. Multiply

107 by the joule value that needs to be converted. Thus if 4 joules needs to be expressed in ergs, then multiply 4 by 107 to get 4 107 ergs. Magnetic Metals Corp uses the CGS system for magnetic units and the English system for dimensional units in the catalogue.
