    Best material for housing?

    Tony: I have a call in to Carpenter Steel and will know shortly what is available and when. Carpenter's vast selection of "magnetic or electrical steels" should yield positive results. Thanks again, MMPD

    Best material for housing?

    Tony: I have been looking at the Carpenter "magnetic steels" including Carpenter Electricla Iron. Your suggestion of Carpenter Silicon Core Iron B-FM is right in line with Carpenters information as listed on the Carpenter web site. Bar form is fine; my OD requierements are <.750". Thanks, MMPD

    Best material for housing?

    Requirements: High permeability, high flux density, high resistivity, good strength, and good machining characteristics. Cost is not a real concern since the housing OD is under one inch. Looking for the best material with the best magnetic properties as described above. Thanks, MMPD

    Best material for housing?

    I assume your suggestions the best materials are low carbon steel followed by an annealing process. The forces during operation are rather high for this type of micro- motor. Thank you Tony & Ed for your response! MMPD

    Best material for housing?

    Looking for the best iron to use in a high performance miniature DC motor application for actuation purposes. The magnetic core or magnets are SmCo 3mm thick x 12mm long x 15mm tall "arc segments". The housing can be stamped or machined from billet. Thanks, MMPD.
