Buyer Decision Criteria

Rotor speed, energy target, OD, sleeve material, and vacuum requirements.
Thermal and demagnetization margin at speed and during fault conditions.
Balance grade, runout, and critical speed constraints.
Outgassing, coating, and packaging requirements.

Factory Support Scope

Halbach rotor and ring assembly for high-speed programs.
Carbon fiber, titanium, or stainless retention options by design scope.
High-temperature NdFeB or SmCo grade review.
Inspection support for balance, runout, and field output.

Application Evaluation Matrix

Evaluation Metric	Typical Range	Buyer Relevance
Standby Loss	System-specific; reviewed with vacuum and bearing design	Standby loss is driven by the full flywheel system, not the magnet assembly alone.
Balance Grade	G2.5 or G1.0 when specified	Imbalance increases bearing load and can dominate high-speed flywheel risk.
Vacuum Compatibility	Defined by coating, adhesive, and cleaning process	Outgassing or contamination can undermine vacuum performance and lifetime.

RFQ Preparation Checklist

Rotor OD and target kinetic energy
Maximum RPM, vacuum level, and operating temperature
Sleeve material preference and balance grade
Magnetic bearing or lift-ring geometry and acceptance tests

Risk and Mitigation

Outgassing: Vacuum-compatible coatings.
Sleeve or magnet stress failure at speed: Review rotor OD, RPM, tip speed, sleeve material, and thermal condition before prototype approval.
Demagnetization during fault events: Select high-Hcj grades and define fault temperature or current exposure assumptions.

Validation Deliverables

Rotor dimension and runout inspection.
Field profile or air-gap flux support.
Material grade, sleeve, adhesive, and coating records.
Balance report when included in scope.

RFQ to Delivery Flow

Send speed, rotor envelope, energy target, vacuum level, temperature, and quantity.
We check material, sleeve, and magnetic configuration before prototype quote.
Prototype approval locks retention and inspection requirements.
Production packaging protects both magnetic force and precision surfaces.

Buyer FAQ

Do you provide the carbon wrap?

Yes, carbon fiber sleeving is available.

What makes flywheel magnet assemblies different from motor rotors?

Flywheel programs usually add stricter vacuum, balance, retention, and standby-loss constraints to the normal rotor review.

Can you support magnetic bearing components for flywheels?

Yes. Halbach rings and rotor assemblies can be reviewed together when lift, stability, and high-speed retention are part of one system.
