Types of Magnetic Cores
Backed by decades of expertise, an extensive quality program, and comprehensive in-house testing abilities, our team can accommodate virtually any core design requirements without volume restrictions. The cores we build range in weight from 0.002 lbs. to over 4,000 lbs., with height and width dimensions up to 7.5 ft. and 4 ft., respectively, based on the core’s overall geometry.
We offer standard and custom configurations, all manufactured to comply with your industry-specific standards. The magnetic core types available from Stangenes Industries are as follows:
- Tape wound and cut cores
- E-cores (three-phase cores)
- Optifficient cores
- Bars
- C-cores (single-phase cores)
- Pie-type cores (three-phase cores)/D-cores
- Cased toroids (aluminum, machined nylon, injection molded, etc.)
- Uncased toroids (gapped, cut in half, epoxy coated, etc.)
Industries We Serve
Stangenes Industries has served an extensive range of demanding industries with tape wound soft magnetic cores since we opened our doors in 1974.
Our tape wound soft magnetic cores meet this industry’s need for energy-efficient and cost-effective products. These cores function with high efficiency and low loss, making them a great option for energy harvesting and storage projects. They have applications in sustainable energy sectors like solar and wind, and we also create inductively powered energy harvest cores for smart grid operations. These coupling devices operate efficiently in low line current conditions. When you’re working with a more limited budget, we’ll construct silicon steel cores. Alternately, when maximum performance is key for your application, our team will utilize nanocrystalline and high-nickel materials.
An extensive number of systems and devices in the healthcare sector operate with the help of magnetic components to ensure optimal patient care. To meet the critical performance, reliability, and safety demands of the medical industry, magnetic core solutions from Stangenes Industries deliver high efficiency and maximum functionality for dependable, long-term use. Our magnetic cores are effective in an array of medical equipment ranging from imaging systems and CT scanners to heart pumps and devices for radiation therapy. We follow stringent quality control procedures to manufacture our medical-grade tape wound magnetic cores, ensuring their compliance with industry-based quality and safety standards.
We have extensive experience creating product solutions that adhere to stringent aerospace industry regulations. Magnetic cores for aerospace applications must accommodate high current flows while helping to reduce equipment size. They should also provide greater efficiency while reducing power loss. The products we create at Stangenes Industries are applicable to many aerospace systems and components, such as control systems, power supply and distribution systems, navigation systems, communication systems, and filters.
The military and defense market also requires extremely dependable, efficient magnetic components for rugged equipment. Stangenes Industries has been creating solutions for air defense and missile guidance systems, radar systems, mobile units and power systems, and many other applications for decades. Our subsidiary, MK Magnetics, collaborates with Magnetic Design engineers to develop the ideal magnetic solution for mission-critical applications. Our cores for military projects adhere to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) as well as other relevant standards, such as MIL-T-27 and MIL-I-45208.
In addition to these core industries, we also create custom solutions to fulfill the needs of many other diverse markets, such as the following:
- Automotive
- Hybrid electric vehicles
- Railroads and locomotives
- Space vehicles
- Satellites
- Microwave transmitters
- Telecommunications
