VICMAR uses a large number of core shapes, materials, sizes, and winding configurations to cover the broadest range of requirements (and constraints) including power, efficiency, size, frequency, and cost. These widely diverse engineering disciplines and manufacturing capabilities offer the correct and most effective solution for the customer. The design is never compromised because of a lack of manufacturing capability.

Magnetic products made by inserting laminations into the prewound and finished layer and bobbin windings. The laminations are made from various grades of steel or nickel alloys. Generally used for low frequency power and audio applications.

Toroidal designs are often used instead of other core winding configurations to enhance performance or reduce the size. Various types and number of windings are wound on a ring or doughnut shaped core using specialized toroidal winding equipment. The cores are constructed of spiral tape, powdered metal alloy, ferrite, or stamped ring type laminations. The cores are then insulated before winding.

Magnetic products using strip wound cores made of steel or nickel alloys. The cores are cut into two sections to facilitate the use of standard layer or bobbin winding equipment. Cut cores normally offer better performance than that of a laminated design.

VICMAR has extensive experience in custom windings and assemblies that use special materials, equipment, and processes. These custom windings can be found in missile head coils, magnetic break and clutch coils, and gyro windings.
