Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) 'Somaloy(R)' Overview

Heganes Japan will be exhibiting at the "Automotive Technology Exhibition 2026 YOKOHAMA," which will be held from May 27 (Wednesday) to May 29 (Friday). At our booth, we will introduce examples of applications for gear reducers and EMB gears made from powder metallurgy, iron powder for LFP batteries, and compacted magnetic cores made from SMC materials, as well as motors, among others. Additionally, our company has obtained SBTi certification, achieved the CN target for 2037, and reduced Scope 1 & 2 CO2 emissions by 55% compared to 2018 by 2025. 【Exhibition Highlights (Excerpt)】 ◆ Gear reducers and EMB gears made from powder metallurgy 1) Significant reduction in machining processes through net shape forming 2) Achieving both lightweight and strength through density control 3) Stable supply system with 15 global locations ◆ For improving the performance of electric motors. SMC materials already registered in JMAG 1) Proven track record as raw materials for motor cores and reactor cores (actual machine display) 2) Support for initial magnetic design considerations using JMAG registered materials 3) Environmental support through visualization of CO2 emissions caused by materials *For more details, please refer to the materials. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Heganes Japan Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the "TECHNO-FRONTIER 2025 Motor Technology Exhibition." We will introduce the soft magnetic composite (SMC) 'Somaloy(R)', which is attracting attention as an environmentally friendly technology that can be applied using powder metallurgy methods. At the venue, we will provide information on our latest developments ahead of the official release. Please experience the next-generation solution "Somaloy (R) 2025," which brings us closer to a sustainable future, at the venue. [Highlights] - We will quickly introduce a new grade set to be released in Q4 2025. Some next-generation materials currently under development will also be displayed. - We will share the CO2 emission data (ISO14067) for Somaloy(R) and highlight our contributions to sustainable manufacturing. [Planned Exhibits] - Various motor cores made from SMC Application examples of Somaloy(R), which is effectively the benchmark for pure iron-based powder magnetic core materials: 1) Product examples adopted domestically and internationally: Axial gap motors YASA-type motors Motor cores Cores for filter coils, etc. 2) Development by Shizuoka Institute of Science and Technology: Rim drive axial gap induction motor.
