Electrical systems are absolutely integral to the performance of modern air travel.

Agile Magnetics is excited to announce that we’ll be exhibiting at the Applied Power Electronic Conference (APEC) at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL, from March 26-30. Featuring state-of-the-art power electronics, the APEC conference brings together industry leaders from across the country to network, view new technologies and innovations, and attend various educational seminars.

Although Nikola Tesla first demonstrated wireless power transfer in 1890, it took over 100 years for it to offer any tangible benefits for real-world applications. The consumer electronics market, in particular, has greatly benefited from this technology.

At their core, electromagnetic coils are quite simple: metal wire looped around a piece of shaped metal, typically a toroid or cylinder, which generates inductance when electrical current is introduced.Inductance is the property of such a coil to generate electromotive force when the current running through it experiences a change.

For such a simple concept, electromagnetic coils are a pervasive and incredibly important feature in all levels of electrical engineering. They’re employed most often in scenarios where electrical currents and electromagnetic fields directly interact — namely in electromagnets, sensor coils, inductors, and transformers.

With the holiday season upon us, people around the world will be celebrating with family reunions, lavish dinners and drinks, and, of course, for the children, toys. As technology advances and tastes shift, more and more toys are being produced with electric functions. The popular Hoverboards, for instance, make use of various electric components to power their unique capabilities.

As a procurement manager, you know firsthand the challenges associated with finding a quality supplier.

Hitting the right price point can be managed easily enough, but ensuring that a supplier performs as promised — often cited by procurement managers as the most difficult part of the process — can be harder to accomplish.

Education and Manufacturing for the Next Generation

October 7, 2016 marks National Manufacturing Day in the United States, featuring over 1200 events for businesses and manufacturing operations across the country. Designed to highlight the authentic experience of these companies, many businesses will hold events throughout the week to celebrate modern manufacturing.

New Technologies, Quality Suppliers, and More come to Marlborough, MA Event

The Agile Magnetics team is excited to attend the New England Design-2-Part Tradeshow this September in Marlborough, MA. The 2-day event on September 28 & 29, 2016 is the largest of its kind in the entire region, highlighting parts, components, and services from over 300 manufacturing categories, serving OEM equipment builders.

An important part of any electrical application, transformers work to ensure that the voltage of an electrical source is changed to the requirements of the electrical circuit.

Agile Magnetics is proud to announce the launch of our completely redesigned website!
