Polymer-bonded magnets are showing great potential for applications in electrical drives and sensor applications. Conventional devices are often produced with expensive sintered magnets and complex sheet metal packages, which have to be combined in a multitude of productions steps. Polymer-bonded magnets produced by injection molding can reduce production costs by reducing the number of production steps and production time respectively. In addition to that the freedom of design reached by injection molding for both, part geometry and magnetic layout is enormous compared to conventional sintered and pressed magnets. However, because of the limited filler content the magnetic properties of bonded magnets are always inferior compared to sintered magnets. Together with the maximum filler content also the degree of orientation of the magnetic particles depends on the used matrix material. By using thermoset molding compounds such as Epoxy, the maximum filler content and the degree of orientation should be increased because of the lower viscosity of this material compared to commonly used thermoplastics such as PA12 or PPS. This should lead to enhanced magnetic properties. This paper deals with the differences in the filling behavior of different matrix materials like PA12 and Epoxy filled with anisotropic magnetic particles (e.g. NdFeB particles). Therefore, parts were produced with and without an aligning magnetic field during the injection molding process. The specimens’ magnetic properties were characterized and the degree of orientation of the incorporated filler particles was determined by optical microscopy.
