VAC Sales, USA, LLC

Since 1973 VAC has been producing sintered Rare Earth Permanent Magnets from SmCo and NdFeB. VAC is the European market leader. With the VACODYM® alloys VAC achieves highest energy densities for permanent magnets today. The alloys of the VACOMAX® group are characterized by very high coercivities. The high degree of innovation at VAC lead to the development of magnetocaloric alloys as a new product family for green technologies. Since 2013 the magnetocaloric alloy CALORIVAC® adds to the product range.

Magnet assemblies are manufactured as a further value adding step using adhesion technology. In this process, VAC combined permanent magnets with soft magnetic materials from its own production. Features relevant to function can be ensured by the use of magnet assemblies. VAC can dimension, design and manufacture highly complex magnet assemblies. VAC excels by mastering strong magnetic forces on an industrial scale.

It all started with a small vacuum melting furnace back in 1923. Today more than a hundred different high-quality crystalline, amorphous and nanocrystalline materials are manufactured. All VAC alloys are melted in the Materials and Parts division: soft magnetic materials, permanent magnets, magnetic semi-hard materials and alloys with special non-magnetic properties. These materials are the basis for the product diversity of VAC.

Enhanced products such as punched and bent parts, sheet packages and screens are made from the materials in this division. High material competence in combination with latest manufacturing technology provides the decisive advantage to our customers. As well as standard products, VAC also manufactures tailor-made solutions developed in close cooperation with its customers.

The unique combination of high permeability with very low losses of the alloys is the basis of the innovative VAC core range. Responding to the increasing demand of materials for higher application frequencies VAC as the first European company developed cores from amorphous materials (VITROVAC®). These have been complemented by the latest generation of soft magnetic alloys, the nanocrystalline VITROPERM® qualities.

Material knowledge is only one of many skills needed for the inductive components and modules. VAC offers widespread application know how, volume optimized constructions and low-cost design with maximum reliability in our European and Asian locations..
