S-2 Glass Reinforcement Continues Growth As New Armor Applications Emerge
New applications for composite armor systems in vehicles are continuing to drive the growth of S-2 Glass reinforcements from AGY. S-2 Glass fibers are a significant component of the new Advanced Composites Demonstrator vehicle from NP Aerospace Ltd. and show how the design of a protection system can be incorporated into the structural design, reducing the overall weight of both the protection and structural elements.
Electro-magnets overcome the problems of residual magnetism
A new range of electro-magnets from Geeplus have been designed with ejector pins to enable them to overcome the problems of residual magnetism occurring when power to the device is switched off. Residual magnetism is common in electro-magnetic devices due to unavoidable very small air gaps which occur within the unit. Saturation tends to occur in the pole regions causing some residual field to remain when power is removed.
