Magnetics & Components

Magnetics & Components play a key role in the ever increasing functionality and ever decreasing size of electronic products. Strong development work and sophisticated manufacturing techniques are essential to building Magnetics & Components that suit the demanding needs of electronic product designers.

Makers of video devices, optical devices, and electronics devices of all kinds are continually striving to achieve smaller sizes and greater functionality. Their efforts require the support of key components backed by strong technologies.

Our Magnetics & Components Group has years of experience in developing and producing precision components. By applying our expertise and making full use of frontline technologies, we continue creating products that meet and anticipate the needs of the day.

Compact Step Motor

Our PMS series of step motors, built from an original design, generate high output from a tiny package - only 6 mm in diameter. The motor is used in many different products, as it allows for thin, compact implementations of digicams, video cameras, PC peripherals, and many other such devices.

TMF Sensors

Original ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors (based on TMF elements) are a key component of the sophisticated rotation sensor units that are themselves a component of the first car-trunk system that can detect faint magnetic pulses emanating from the car's tires. These sensor improve the precision of car navigation systems, and can also be used to implement directional sensors that perform angular measurements based on detected terrestrial magnetic fields. They are also useful in medical devices and many other applications.

Magnetic Heads for Industrial Applications

Core technologies, learned from years of work developing magnetic acoustic heads, have been combined with magnetic simulation technologies and high-definition vapor deposition techniques to produce high-performance ultra-long-life magnetic heads. We are building these heads into products for a wide range of applications: for automatic ticketing machines at train stations, for card- and coin-identification devices, and more.

Precision Components for Video Devices

Customers in this field are continuously in need of leading-edge components. Our high-precision shutter units for digicams and video cameras, built on ultra-precise design and manufacturing techniques, continue to meet these needs and maintain strong market share.
