Acal BFi – Magnetic Products Technology Centre
We provide you with customised magnetic components of high quality and performance for your specific requirements
The Magnetic Products Technology Centre is at the forefront of our solution led approach for applications that require customised cores and components, driving our commitment to developing an enhanced technological future together.
Over the last 25 years, we have grown our expertise in the design-led customisation of magnetic components. With the largest team of technical support specialists, the Magnetic Products Technology Centre is at the forefront of magnetic based technological advancements. Our team design and manufacture magnetic components including transformers, inductors, and even cores to meet the technical and commercial aspects of your project, whether you are in design or production.
Simply, we’re driving magnetic technologies forward. Working in partnership with universities and soft magnetic materials research facilities we integrate the latest developments into our custom solutions.
With unparalleled access to soft magnetic core manufacturers, we have one of the widest ranges of soft magnetic core materials and shapes in Europe. At our well-equipped facility, we’re able to quickly design, develop and test prototypes that meet the performance and environmental requirements of your application, whilst still ensuring that our high-quality standards remain in place.
Our focus on customer service, combined with our engineering capabilities means we translate your requirements into a reliable, cost-efficient design, which can be produced by our manufacturing partners.
We can also customise accessories that help make your design work effectively by choosing the right material that fulfils your requirements in terms of robustness, isolation, temperature, and space. These include bobbins, housings, connection, and thermal management elements- particularly important where space is limited, performance is crucial, or weight matters.
Specialist capabilities
Within the Magnetic Products Technology Centre, we can offer an array of services to boost your experience and help create your customised solutions.
Custom design
Our custom design service capability focuses on your specific needs. We translate your requirements into reliable, cost-effective designs using simulation tools and identifying the right materials. If standard cores don’t provide the best solution, we’ll design and manufacture a custom magnetic solution. With our unique range of strategic partners, our design engineers can freely choose the best material for your application.
Technical expertise
By sharing our extensive technical expertise in direct contact, whether online or face-to-face, we empower you to ask the right questions. Our team is committed to ensuring that we remain at the forefront of advanced technological developments and work closely with universities to drive innovation in magnetics technologies. So, whether you require a single product or a customised design, you’ll be benefiting from the knowledge we have accumulated over the last 40 years.
Prototyping
Our prototyping processes are designed to test your components in a real-world scenario, subjecting them to any challenging environmental conditions that need to be withstood. We’ll ensure that your custom magnetics solution will function effectively under pressure and meet your brief in full. Using our well-equipped facility with access to contemporary rapid prototyping, we can develop prototypes in short timescales, avoiding necessary delays to your product’s development.
EMC chamber and regulatory testing
Our dedicated testing chamber provides you with the opportunity to assess whether your design will meet the relevant compliance standards at each step of the process. You are able to use our facility without incurring the usual expense of using a private pre-compliance testing facility. With years of experience, our expert application engineers will support you each step of the process, identifying risk and providing invaluable advice.
Supply chain
Once approved, we manage the production and complete supply chain. With a choice of dedicated manufacturing partners with unique profiles and our warehouse solutions, we provide the most efficient capabilities matching your design, volume, and destination. Product ownership and full quality and compliance responsibility are guaranteed by our Magnetic Products Technology Centre.
Technology integrations
When you come to the Magnetic Products Technology Centre, you gain access to all of our knowledge and capabilities. It is this unique breadth of offering that sets us apart and enables us to provide you with a powerful integrated custom technology solution.
When resource or capacity is limited, you can depend upon our knowledge and dedicated Technology Centres to support you from concept through to production
