Motors & drivesMagnet and rotor supply
The sourcing requirement
An OEM needs a repeatable magnet or rotor specification for a new motor or an alternative production source.
What to review
Operating temperature, magnetic circuit, magnet grade, coating, rotor interfaces, balance requirements and annual volume.
What to verify
Agree the magnetic-property data, dimensional inspection, assembly checks and sample approval required for the component.
Explore rotor assemblies →Power electronicsSoft magnetic core selection
The sourcing requirement
A power-conversion design needs a core material suited to its frequency, operating temperature and current profile.
What to review
Frequency, flux density, DC bias, temperature, core geometry and the test conditions used to compare loss data.
What to verify
Request material data and application-specific sample evaluation before selecting a production specification.

The sourcing requirement
An equipment manufacturer wants to source casting, machining and finishing through a coordinated route.
What to review
Alloy, sealing faces, interfaces, thermal requirements, finish, tolerances, tooling and order volume.
What to verify
Define the first-article dimensions, finish approval, material records and any leak-test acceptance criteria.

The sourcing requirement
A pump design needs torque transfer across a containment barrier, with magnet selection suited to the operating environment.
What to review
Required torque, speed, air gap, temperature, containment geometry and chemical exposure.
What to verify
Agree torque verification, material compatibility, dimensional checks and system-level validation responsibilities.
Explore magnetic couplings →Sensing & positioningA controlled magnetic field
The sourcing requirement
A sensor or positioning design calls for a field distribution that cannot be specified by magnet grade alone.
What to review
Target field map, working distance, array geometry, polarity orientation, mounting space and temperature.
What to verify
Define measurement positions, field uniformity and acceptance limits before reviewing an array design.

The sourcing requirement
A motor manufacturer wants to evaluate a cost-effective magnet material without losing sight of the complete motor design.
What to review
Available magnet volume, magnetic-circuit requirements, operating conditions, geometry and production quantity.
What to verify
Compare material data and prototype results in the actual application; a material substitution is not a drop-in assumption.
