A magnetic assembly incorporates magnet alloy and non-magnet material. Magnet alloy is very hard and even simple features are difficult to incorporate into the alloy. Mounting and application-specific features are easily incorporated into the non-magnetic materials which usually form the housing or magnetic circuit elements. The non-magnet elements will also buffer the brittle magnet material from mechanical stress and increase the over-all magnetic strength of the magnet alloy. Dura specializes in the design and optimization of assembly elements by the use of 2D and 3D BEA/FEA simulation software.
