Motor design utilizing soft magnetic composite (SMC) material "Somaloy(R)"
A must-see for those struggling with miniaturizing motors! Electromagnetic design support for pancake-structured high-torque ultra-flat axial gap motors, etc.
Höganäs is a specialized manufacturer of iron powder and metal powder, and we support the three-dimensional magnetic circuit design of axial gap motors (axial flux motors) improved by the soft magnetic composite material 'Somaloy(R)' using the electromagnetic field analysis software JMAG. 【Overview of Axial Gap Motor Design Support】 ■ Design Topology Please refer to the lineup section below. ■ Basic Support - 3D magnetic circuit analysis using JMAG - 3D CAD modeling - Optimization using Mode Frontier - Winding design - Strength analysis ★ Free download of design examples for axial gap motors available ★ By completing a simple registration on the JMAG site below, you can download design examples for single stator and single rotor types. * If you wish for other design topologies, please contact Heganes Japan. https://www.jmag-international.com/jp/motordesign-material/hoganas_001/
basic information
【Use Cases and Target Audience】 ■ Those who want to try simulations using three-dimensional magnetic circuits leveraging magnetic isotropy. ■ Those who want to perform principle design of simulation models but lack design resources or prefer a more straightforward approach. 【Differences from Electrical Steel Sheets】 'Somaloy(R)' reduces losses by insulating each iron powder particle and possesses different magnetic isotropy compared to electrical steel sheets, enabling mechanically complex structures while maintaining magnetic flux in all directions. This feature also effectively aids in heat dissipation, making thermal design easier. 【Advantages of Axial Motors in Electric Motor Applications】 ■ Dimensions and weight can be reduced by up to 60%. 【Main Needs for Automotive Motors】 ■ Desire to increase power density (i.e., miniaturization and cost reduction). ■ Want to install motors in a more space-efficient manner than before. ■ Aim to reduce losses even in high-frequency ranges. 【JMAG Material Partner】 Höganäs is listed as an official product (material) partner of JMAG, providing the 'Somaloy(R)' material database. 【For Those Considering or Interested in Technical Design Support for Axial Gap Motors】 ■ Please feel free to contact us for more details.

The world's first metal powder manufacturer to receive certification from SBTi (Science Based Target initiative).
Heganesu Corporation has become the first company in the metal powder industry to be certified by the SBTi. Initially, the goal was to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51% from 2018 levels by 2030, and to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions, which include raw materials and transportation, by 30%. However, the company has continued to diligently pursue its efforts, accelerating its goals and achieving SBTi certification. Specifically, the goals are as follows: 2030: Achieve net-zero emissions in its own processes* (Scope 1, 2) Reduce upstream Scope 3 emissions by 30%, focusing on raw materials** 2037: Achieve net-zero across the entire value chain (Scope 1, 2, and upstream Scope 3) *Net-zero: Any GHG emissions that cannot be reduced will be removed using carbon removal technologies. **Refers to the processes from raw material sourcing to factory acceptance based on 2018 levels. What is SBTi? A joint initiative by WWF, CDP, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the United Nations Global Compact. It recommends, promotes, supports, and certifies companies to ensure that their greenhouse gas reduction targets are based on scientific evidence, aiming to limit the global average temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
