As part of its ongoing commitment to develop innovative products and services, Electron Energy Corp has begun using high-performance 2D and 3D electromagnetic design computer software.

As part of its ongoing commitment to develop innovative products and services that meet the special needs of its customers, Electron Energy Corp, a long-standing innovator in the field of rare-earth magnets, has begun using high-performance two- and three-dimensional electromagnetic design computer software.

The company's objective is to strengthen its magnetic design capability, as well as to assist customers in developing and optimising magnet systems.

"The number of applications for permanent magnets in a variety of industry segments and scientific disciplines is increasing rapidly", said Electron Energy Corp President Michael H Walmer.

"New information on magnetic properties, mechanical properties and design options continue to emerge as these applications take hold.

At Electron Energy Corporation, we can assist in the initial design stage and help to move new products to market quickly".

"This assistance can range from conceptualisation to production", added Jin Fang Liu, Senior Engineer in EEC's bonded magnets division.

"Electron Energy offers an extensive range of services that include design optimisation, rapid prototyping, magnet testing and selection recommendations, manufacturability assessment, preproduction trials, and production of magnets and magnet assemblies.

Our accomplishments include complete system design, sometimes starting with very basic information, such as minimum-torque or holding-force requirements.

Customers benefit from our extensive knowledge of magnet materials and processes coupled with our sophisticated in-house magnetic design capabilities".
