Based in Sheffield, Magnomatics is an innovator of magnetic transmissions and ultra-compact motors, working in a variety of sectors, including aerospace and the associated eVTOL/UAM industry, as well as marine propulsion, Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) as well as renewables, to name a few.

 
The accreditation, which has been approved by the Auva Certification Body, confirms Magnomatics is currently deploying a fully compliant Aerospace Standard Management System.
 
The Quality Management System (QMS) is in place throughout Magnomatics’ operations and at all key stages of production, including the design, development, manufacture, assembly, and testing, in addition the supply of magnetic gearing-based products, as well as bespoke magnetic and electromagnetic solutions to the global market.
 
Commenting on the announcement, Gary Rodgers, CEO of Magnomatics, said: “The company proudly works on projects for some of the most prestigious brands in the world, including innovative electrification solutions for the growing eVTOL and UAM markets.”
 
“We plan to continue collaborating with companies across the Aerospace sector and as a leading electrification partner, safety is a top priority. The accreditation is essential in helping us deliver our leading-edge magnetic gear solutions to global markets and it will be hugely beneficial to our future aviation projects, including our bespoke consultancy services.”
 
Magnomatics Limited is a high-technology company formed in 2006 as a spin-out from the University of Sheffield. The company is commercialising novel products based upon highly efficient proprietary magnetic gear technology.
 
Whilst offering their technology to leading global sectors, Magnomatics also provide consultancy services for one-off projects, as well as end-to-end solutions and unique technology ventures. They utilise decades of industry experience to take projects from design and analysis to manufacturing, testing and a final product, completing work on everything from Formula 1 transmissions to high-speed electric turbo-charged motors.
 
Magnetic gears are contactless and therefore very efficient over a broad range of speeds. They are compact and also incorporate a torque fuse feature. A magnetic gear can be combined with a stator to form a very efficient and torque dense motor or generator known as the Pseudo Direct Drive (PDD). These are especially suited to high torque, low speed applications. A magnetic gear can also be adapted into a continuously variable hybrid transmission and power split device for automotive applications. This MAGSPLIT product is also efficient, compact and can filter torsional vibrations from the drive train.
