Magnetic Suspensions
Magnetic Suspensions (Research and Development) Ltd have been tenants at CBTC since 1996 when the company was founded by Electronics and Magnetics research post graduates from universities across the UK. The aim of the project was to establish the most up to date magnetics technology research base in the world. The team has evolved rapidly, proving to be one of the leading authorities in all aspects of magnetic development providing a world wide service to companies requiring expertise in magnetics.
Magnetic Suspensions was originally formed in order to capitalise on the magnetics expertise and a patent application of Nabeel Shirazee, then a research student at the Wolfson Centre for Magnetics Technology, Cardiff University. Since then the business has pushed forward the development of magnetic technology for significant commercial exploitation with global potential and is currently developing prototypes.
The research team boast 9 gold medal awards world wide for their design and development of magnetic systems including the prestigious top U.S.A award "The Grand Prix" 96/97, awarded for the Magnetic Suspensions System which allows objects up to 3kg to levitate with an air gap of between 2cm and 5cm, at extremely low power.
The company’s existing expertise includes:
- Permanent Magnet circuit design
- 2-D and 3-D computation of magnetic fields, stress and thermal analysis
- Design of non contact sensors for automotive industry
- Hall sensor applications and Remote signal sensing using hall effect sensors
- Circuit design for signal sensing and amplification
"We have shared some good experiences with other tenants of the centre, especially during coffee mornings. We have also conducted business with some of them which has been fruitful" - Nabeel Shirazee.
