Magnetization characteristic measurement system dedicated to magnet materials (hard materials).
Our magnetic Characteristics Measurement System is a fully automatic measurement device for measuring the magnetization characteristics of magnets. Our magnetic Characteristics Measurement System is a fully automatic measurement device for measuring the magnetization characteristics of magnets. Residual flux density, coercivity, maximum energy product, etc. can be measured. While direct current has been used, we have developed a pulsed magnetization type BH curve tracer in response to the need for enhanced performance from magnetic materials.
Main measurement items:Maximum energy product (BH MAX), residual flux density (Br), coercive force (HcB, HcJ), saturation magnetization (Js), maximum saturation flux density (Bs), others (Br/Bs, Hk, Hk/HcJ)
Compact, easy operation and high cost performance
Pulse magnetization method.
High coercivity magnets can be measured with high accuracy and in a short time.
*PBH-1000 is manufactured in accordance with EMAS-7007 "Permanent Magnetic Field Measurement Method Using Pulse Magnetic Field" prepared by the Magnet Technology Committee of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association.
Automatic measurement of magnetization characteristics of high coercivity magnets using superconducting coils
1. Electromagnetic saturation
Since abnormal attenuation may occur above about 1.2[T] (957.2[kA/m]) due to the magnetic saturation of the iron used in electromagnets, it is not suitable for the measurement of high-coercivity magnets such as NdFeB sintered.
2. Pulse Magnetic Field - Magnetic aftereffect
In the method using pulse magnetic field, a discontinuity appears in the B-H demagnetization curve for permanent magnets with a large magnetic aftereffect. This phenomenon is remarkable for NdFeB with HcJ less than 400 kA/m and SmCo-based sintered permanent magnet.
3. Large magnet - Eddy currents
In the method using pulse magnetic field, eddy currents are generated in magnets with high conductivity such as NdFeB magnets. Therefore, due to the skin effect, the magnetic flux is concentrated on the surface and does not penetrate into the interior of the magnets. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately measure large, highly conductive magnets.
