Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation (Rochester, NY), a subsidiary of Compass Diversified, empowers manufacturers to build smaller, lighter, and more efficient motors and generators with Arnon Non Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (NGOES). With optimized thickness and finish, Arnon NGOES creates considerable energy savings by reducing eddy currents. This optimization enables manufacturers to meet the most demanding needs of high speed, high efficiency motor and high efficiency transformer applications.
Manufacturers frequently use Arnon NGOES as laminations in high speed, high efficiency motors and generators due to the material’s optimized thickness. Arnold manufactures NGOES in thicknesses of 0.004″, 0.005″ and 0.007″ (0.102mm, 0.127 mm and 0.178 mm). This marks a significant reduction from the typical thickness of NGOES laminations, which often come in 0.0118″ to 0.0185″ (0.30 mm to 0.47 mm) thicknesses.
Several motors manufactured with Arnon have exceeded 98% efficiency. And so, it comes as no surprise that Arnon can lower core loss by up to 50% when compared to other NGOES.
