Magnets for automotive and wind-energy programmes
EMTXI assesses custom magnet and motor-component enquiries for automotive applications and wind-energy equipment using permanent-magnet machines. We compare external sourcing routes against the programme's drawings, required evidence and qualification process. Each application is reviewed on its own requirements rather than treated as a shared approval.
Automotive components need a defined programme scope
Identify whether the enquiry concerns an auxiliary motor, actuator or another defined electric-drive component. Provide the controlled drawing, magnetic requirements, operating conditions and the applicable supplier-quality requirements. A generic grade designation is not a substitute for the programme's complete material specification.
If approval documents, process records or particular supplier certifications are required, list them before quotations are requested. We identify what a proposed route can provide and where evidence is missing. Sample delivery does not establish production approval; the buyer determines the release requirements for the part and its intended assembly.
Wind equipment needs its own qualification plan
Wind generators use different electrical-machine arrangements; not every design uses permanent magnets. For a permanent-magnet component enquiry, identify the generator or equipment application and provide the part drawing, environment and inspection criteria. Include handling, packaging and any assembly interfaces that affect the supply scope.
For equipment exposed to moisture or other demanding environments, specify the protective arrangement and the qualification tests required by the designer. Material and coating proposals must be reviewed against that complete specification. The coating guide provides background, not approval for a particular installation.
Qualify the route and document changes
The supplier-qualification process compares drawing conformity, material evidence, sample records and the buyer's assembly approval. Define which characteristics are checked for each lot and which are established during qualification. Inspection reports should refer to the applicable revision and agreed method.
For enquiries covering stators, shafts, housings or rotor assemblies, motor component kits can coordinate the sourcing scope. Each item retains its own acceptance requirements. Changes to material, producer, production location or process are handled according to the programme's agreed review procedure.
Build the commercial enquiry around evidence
Component drawings, specifications and revision status
Supplier approval requirements and required records
Sample quantities and qualification milestones
Forecast demand, release sizes and delivery schedule
Origin restrictions and supporting-document requirements
Packaging, traceability and change-notification requirements
Origin traceability evaluates upstream material and processing evidence separately from the final assembly location. We do not label an unverified route as meeting an origin restriction. A volume programme then assesses schedule, route options and commercial commitments against the approved scope; capacity and delivery terms remain subject to the specific proposal.
Buyer questions
Are your sourcing routes already approved for our programme?
Approval is programme-specific. We assess the buyer's requirements and the evidence available for each proposed route. No customer approval or certification is claimed without verification and the buyer's acceptance.
Can you assess an existing part for an additional source?
Yes. Provide the current controlled specification, inspection methods and qualification requirements. The additional route is evaluated and sampled before it can be accepted for recurring deliveries.
Can related machined parts or assemblies be included?
They can be assessed on request, with separate drawings, scope and supplier requirements. A magnet route does not automatically qualify a stator, machined component or rotor assembly for the same programme.
