An A-series 3C product -- computer, communications and consumer electronics -- magnetic component automated production line developed by Inst Magnetics New Material Co has begun trial production, according to a July 23 report in the Baotou Daily.

The magnetic components were self-developed by the company’s magnetics engineers and its R&D team.

The NdFeB magnets are combined by different magnetic directions, and are arranged to be mutually repelled by size to achieve the maximum magnetic properties. The company says this achieves the maximum adsorption with the least rare earth magnets. It can save 50 percent of the magnet, increase the adsorption by 55 percent, and reduce the total cost by 40 percent.

Based in Baotou Rare Earth High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Baotou, in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Inst Magnetics New Material Co has magnet experts and R&D teams to develop rare earth permanent magnet materials.

The company says its Halbach magnetic components can save 50 percent of magnets increase adsorption by 55 percent, and reduce costs by 40 percent. The materials are widely used in the keyboards of laptops around the world.

Inst Halbach PC magnetic components have been used by global customers such as Microsoft, Lenovo and Huawei, and have begun to be mass-marketed in new notebook computers.
