Integrating ST Series Electromagnetic Steel into JMAG

Nippon Kinzoku Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has made an impressive advance in motor design technology with the official incorporation of its ST series ultra-thin, non-oriented electromagnetic steel strip data into JMAG, developed by JSOL Co., Ltd., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo. This incorporation is a significant breakthrough for JMAG users as it simplifies the motor design and development process by eliminating the need for cumbersome material data entry.

Enhancing Efficiency in Motor Design

The JMAG software is renowned for its ability to predict and evaluate the performance and behavior of electromechanical components like motors, generators, transformers, and actuators. With the addition of ST series data, engineers can now utilize simulation capabilities more effectively, greatly enhancing the overall efficiency of their motor design processes and significantly shortening development timelines.

Unique Features of the ST Series

The ST series features an impressive thickness range of 0.050 to 0.150 mm, pushing the boundaries of ultrathin electromagnetic steel compared to standard materials that typically measure around 0.35 mm. This remarkable reduction in thickness minimizes the occurrence of eddy current losses within motors, thus providing outstanding low-loss characteristics particularly in high-frequency domains ranging from 400 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Such advancement aids customers in achieving higher efficiency and compact designs of their motors.

The ST series proves its versatility across numerous application areas including drones, precision machinery, medical devices, aerospace components, and power tools, all of which benefit from the enhanced efficiency, miniaturization, and weight reduction of small high-speed motors.

Furthermore, these ultrathin electromagnetic steel strips have received certification as 'Eco Products' for their performance in energy conservation. Nippon Kinzoku is committed to contributing to sustainable manufacturing by promoting environmentally friendly materials, aiming to achieve net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050.

New Features in JMAG Release Version 24.2

In September, the latest version of JMAG (Version 24.2) was released with various materials data, including:

• - ST050 (thickness 0.05 mm)
• - ST080 (thickness 0.08 mm)
• - ST100 (thickness 0.10 mm)
• - ST150 (thickness 0.15 mm)

Supporting Next-Generation Technologies

Alongside the ST series, Nippon Kinzoku's directional ultrathin electromagnetic steel strips from the GT series have already established a track record of success. Combined with the ST series, these advanced magnetic materials serve as a powerful driving force for innovative product development in high-efficiency motors, next-generation power electronics, high-frequency transformers, and inductors.
