Connecting magnets: Bonding and Tolerance Assurance

Choosing the right adhesive is essential when assembling magnetic components. At MagnetIQ, bonding is not an afterthought – it is engineered from the ground up using simulation, material science and field-specific requirements. We combine field experience with FEA simulation to predefine bonding forces and align them with system tolerances and application needs.

Our Approach to Bonding and Process Design

Rather than trial-and-error, our adhesive selection is informed by magnetic and mechanical models. Every bonding step is part of a repeatable, controlled process, developed in partnership with chemical and adhesive specialists.

  • FEA simulations of stress, strain and magnetic field during assembly
  • Thermal and mechanical load analysis before glue selection
  • Close cooperation with adhesive suppliers and chemists
  • Fixture design that supports curing and positioning

Validation and Compatibility Testing

Once adhesives are selected, we validate them in context: real materials, representative geometries, expected temperatures and mechanical dynamics.

  • Material compatibility tests across coatings and substrates
  • Thermal cycle and vibration testing for reliability
  • Shear, peel and creep tests for bonding strength
  • Documentation of bonding curves and curing behaviour

Designed for Real-World Conditions

The ideal bonding process is aligned with both the magnetic behaviour and the application’s life cycle. Our engineers match adhesives to the operating climate: temperature swings, exposure to oil or humidity, or dynamic vibration. Assembly is executed using custom fixtures to ensure repeatable alignment and curing.

Need help defining your bonding process or selecting the right adhesive for a high-field assembly? We’d be happy to explore your use case — and model it for production success.
