Harvesting Wind Power With (or Without) Permanent Magnets - by Tony Morcos
Thermal Properties of Permanent Magnets Aug. 3 at 10-11 a.m. MDT
This webinar will explain the fundamental reasons why permanent magnets have a thermal nature, the many ways this behavior is characterized, the practical significance of each method and the characteristics you should ignore, discount or emphasize when using permanent magnets. Read More
DID YOU MISS THE 2009 MAGNETICS CONFERENCE?
The conference proceedings from the 2009 Magnetics Conference held in Chicago, Ill. on April 15-16, are available on CD-ROM and include audio and video of select presentations.
Encoder IC from Renishaw's RLS Product Line Provides High-Resolution Speed/Position Feedback at Reduced Cost
Renishaw's new AM4096 On-Axis magnetic encoder provides 4096-counts/rev of absolute position feedback for high-speed digital motor and motion control applications. A non-contact 12-bit IC with no moving parts and programmable zero position, it delivers accuracy of 0.1 degrees, at speeds up to 60,000 rpm – well suited for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders.
Allegro MicroSystems Announces a New Gear-Tooth Sensor
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has released a new true zero-speed gear tooth sensor consisting of an optimized Hall IC/magnet configuration in a single over molded module. The unique integrated circuit and package design provides a user-friendly solution for digital gear-tooth sensing applications within the automotive market. This small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with gears of various shapes and sizes.
Shape is turning out to be a particularly important feature of some commercially important nanoparticles—but in subtle ways. New studies* by scientists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) show that changing the shape of cobalt nanoparticles from spherical to cubic can fundamentally change their behavior.
Building on a previous paper** that examined the properties of cobalt formed into spheres just a few nanometers in diameter, the new work explores what happens when the cobalt is synthesized instead as nanocubes. Nanoparticles of cobalt possess large magnetic moments—a measure of magnetic strength—and unique catalytic properties, and have potential applications in information storage, energy and medicine.
Magnetics 2010 - Call for Presentations Deadline is July 31st Magnetics 2010, taking place January 28-29, 2010 in Orlando, Fla., will focus on the latest advancements in magnetic applications, technology and materials.
