Magnets Improve Efficiency in Automotive Applications

Magnets For The Automotive Industry

Magnets are an essential component within the automotive industry. Not only are they used within the vehicle itself, facilitating functions such as the power steering system or seat belt sensors for example, but they can also be found on the automotive production line, where they enhance efficiency.

Eclipse Magnetics designs, produces and supplies magnets and magnetic assembly solutions to meet and exceed the stringent requirements for a huge range of automotive applications. We can supply custom magnets into the automotive industry with PPAP (e.g. PPAP Level 3) and PSW to meet to IATF16949 (formerly TS16949).

How Are Magnets Used In Cars?

Automotive magnets play a crucial role in the automotive industry due to their magnetic strength and durability, finding a wide range of uses. Key applications include:

Electric motors
Central locking system
Vehicle sensors (e.g. seatbelt and airbag sensors)
Audio and entertainment systems
Fuel and oil filters
Power steering systems
Regenerative braking systems
Headliner magnets
Load cover magnets
Compartment magnets
Air conditioning systems
Fuel injection systems
Anti-theft mechanisms

Magnets are essential in enhancing vehicle performance, safety, and comfort, and their use continues to expand as automotive technology advances. As the industry evolves, magnets will remain integral to future innovations.

Magnetic Assemblies for Automotive Manufacturing

Magnetic Assemblies - Continuous Design Improvement and Cost Savings

Our magnetic materials & assemblies are used for a variety of motor, holding, switching, locking, sensing or control applications on finished vehicles. Our customised product designs offer competitive edge in magnet performance, weight or space saving advantages. Regardless of which product we supply, our technical teams are well versed in working with their technical counterparts in the automotive industry.

We can provide design consultation and, with our vast knowledge of magnets and materials, specify the optimum solution for your business. Our magnets are vital components in ev motor drive systems, linear actuators, sensors, motors, alternators, ISG’s, or holding applications such as glove box magnets, sun-visor magnets and headliner magnets, Formula 1 sensors, magnetic mounts, etc. We work with Tier1 and Tier 2 companies and also with universities and R&D design houses working for them on the supply of prototypes through to mass production call offs. For more information, please contact us.

Magnetic Filtration Systems - Increase Productivity & Minimise Downtime

Our magnetic filtration systems remove even the smallest of ferrous particles from coolants, machine fluids and wash systems, extending fluid replacement intervals and minimising maintenance requirements. This results in increased productivity, reduced downtime and improved product quality.

Magnetic filtration systems are also a great way to prioritise sustainability, as fluid life is extended whilst consumable filter waste is reduced. Our magnetic filtration solutions aid in carbon footprint reduction.

Magnetic Lifting System for Automotive Manufacturing

Magnetic Lifting Systems - Improving Efficiency with Guaranteed Safety

Our magnetic lifting systems provide safe and efficient movement of ferrous components on Automotive production lines. Our products are used on engine block lines, single or multiple part pick and place equipment, valve housings, spring manufacture, brake and turbo manufacturing lines to transfer product from stage to stage.

They are also used as a means of clamping or mounting components such as suspension units in wind tunnels. Our pneumatically or electronically activated lifting systems can increase speed for moving small or large ferrous components.

Magnetic Tools – Solving Problems In The Workshop

Our range of Magnetic Tools are widely used in automotive workshop or machining locations. They are designed to simplify and drive savings into everyday workshop applications.

Magnetic welding tools, magnetic chucks and mounting and measurement equipment make precision applications more efficient. In addition, our simple pick up and retrieval tools solve those often time consuming tasks in workshop settings.
