Item:

MAGNOHL Magnetic Laminate

Description:

MAGNOHL is a magnetic glass reinforced laminate that is utilized as a wedge material in high
performance motors and generators. MAGNOHL provides a flux path through the wedge allowing for
better magnetic flux distribution to the stator core, thereby reducing losses and heat rise. MAGNOHL
has mechanical properties that typically meet or exceed those of non-magnetic wedge materials.
