Webinar to address rare earth materials in motion industry.
Press Release Summary:
"What the Motion Industry Needs to Know About Rare Earth Materials" is scheduled for August 7, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. In the 1960s, rare-earth synchronous motors became the go-to technology for motion control and automation OEMs. In 2010, supply chain tightening and speculation caused prices to skyrocket, and today, the market has become more rational. Webinar will review factors that created the bubble, highlight design alternatives and new suppliers, and discuss expectations for the future.

In the 1960s, rare-earth materials like neodymium and dysprosium led to the development of compact, lightweight permanent magnet motors that could survive high temperatures without demagnetization. As a result, rare-earth synchronous motors rapidly became the go-to technology for motion control and automation OEMs. Fast forward to 2010, when supply chain tightening and speculation caused prices to skyrocket, forcing designers to choose between cost and performance. Today, the market has become more rational. In this webinar, we’ll review the factors that created the bubble, highlight design alternatives and new suppliers, and discuss expectations for the future.
