Radial Multi-pole Magnetic Rings

Mainrich manufactures high-performance sintered magnetic rings for humanoid robot joints and high-speed motors. Compared to conventional radially oriented rings that can produce a saddle-shaped air-gap flux density profile, our radial multi-pole rings use curved internal grain orientation to create a sinusoidal surface field and concentrate flux at the working surface—delivering higher torque and smoother rotation.

Why Radial Multi-pole Technology?

Standard radially oriented rings align magnetic grains in straight spokes, which can produce a saddle-shaped air-gap flux density profile (a mid-pole dip and higher harmonic content). Our radial multi-pole rings use advanced orientation molding where the grains curve between poles—improving surface flux utilization and waveform smoothness.

Flux Concentration: Curved internal grain orientation concentrates magnetic energy toward the working surface, achieving 20–30% higher surface flux versus traditional tile magnets (application-dependent).

Natural Sine Wave: The continuous grain orientation produces a naturally smooth sinusoidal waveform. This matches the electrical input of high-end servo motors—reducing cogging torque, vibration, and noise without relying on complex mechanical compensation.

GBD Technology (Grain Boundary Diffusion)

Robotics and servo applications often need higher-coercivity NdFeB grades—commonly M or Hclass. Traditional alloying uses heavy rare earths (Dy/Tb) throughout the whole magnet, which increases cost and supply risk.

We use GBD to diffuse Dy/Tb only along the grain boundaries. This increases coercivity (Hcj) and thermal stability while using 50–70% less heavy rare earth material than traditional alloying (application-dependent).

By significantly reducing the use of heavy rare earth materials like Dy and Tb, this technology lowers our magnets' cost exposure and supply chain risk arising from the volatility and potential restrictions on these elements.
