Alternator Stator Flywheel Rotor Magnet
Applications
Neodymium magnets have replaced Alnico and ferrite magnets in many applications where strong permanent magnets are required, because their greater strength allows the use of smaller, lighter magnets.
These applications include:
•head actuators for computer hard disks
•magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
•magnetic guitar pickups
•loudspeakers and headphones
•magnetic bearings and couplings
•permanent magnet motors
•cordless tools
•servo motors
•lifting and compressor motors
•synchronous motors
•spindle and stepper motors
•electrical power steering
•drive motors for hybrid and electric vehicles
•actuators
