Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) 'Somaloy(R)' Overview
Soft Magnetic Composites help to reduce the eddy current loss at high frequency! ☆ Easy modeling of 3D complex shapes ☆

"Somaloy(R)" is a soft magnetic material composed of pure iron powder that has been treated with an insulating coating on the particle surface. It enables the formation of complex-shaped components with high dimensional accuracy through the mold compression process alone, and by utilizing the freedom of 3D net shaping and 3D magnetic circuit design, it achieves miniaturization, lightweighting, and cost reduction that were difficult with conventional electromagnetic steel sheets. 【Suitable Application Examples】　　■ Ultra-flat pancake-type axial gap motors (axial flux type) 　　　Axial gap motors using "Somaloy(R)" already have a track record of mass production in various automotive motors! 　　　　☆ We are also actively providing design technical support for axial gap motors ☆ 　　　■ Boost reactors for automotive DC/DC boost converters 　　　Reactors using "Somaloy(R)" already have a track record of mass production in various automotive applications! ★ We will also provide an introduction to the achievements of "Somaloy(R)" ★ 　For more details, please contact us♪
