Maxmag Moulded Magnets

MAXMAG MOULDED MAGNETS LIMITED, based in Tyseley, Birmingham, UK, is a specialist in the injection moulding of ferrite moulded magnets. They manufacture fully magnetised components using Strontium Ferrite filled polymers, with an option for hybrid neo-ferrite materials. Their proprietary injection moulding process, developed over 40 years ago, allows for precise pole orientation and the direct integration of complex features into the magnet during moulding.

Maxmag's capabilities extend to overmoulding and insert moulding, enabling the assembly of magnets onto plastic bushes and metal spindles, thereby reducing post-moulding assembly and machining. They offer comprehensive expertise from component design and prototyping through to in-house toolmaking, injection moulding, and post-operational assembly. Their in-house toolmaking is crucial for protecting their unique manufacturing methods and managing the abrasive nature of filled polymers.

The company caters to a wide range of production volumes, from small batch runs to high-volume manufacturing. Maxmag has demonstrated its integrated approach by redesigning a magnetic ring component for a US customer, replacing a multi-step process with a single injection moulding solution that eliminated secondary operations and resolved quality issues. This project highlights their ability to deliver cost-effective, complete components.
