Magnets and magnet systems have long been an essential component in the automotive industry - and the trend is rising. Magnets are used in a wide variety of applications in passenger cars, but also in commercial vehicles such as vans, vans and lorries. Performance, safety, comfort, efficiency, power - magnetic components play an important role in all of these factors. In addition to a high degree of flexibility in terms of size and dimensions and long-lasting performance, magnet systems offer the particular advantage that they make automated production processes even safer and simpler. As a highly specialised manufacturer of magnet systems, we at Brugger are an important partner in this respect.

Where are magnets used in the automotive industry?

One of the key advantages of magnet systems for the automotive industry is their enormous range of applications. Magnets can be found in almost all areas of vehicles: In the drivetrain, for example as a component of drives, motors, clutches, in the control, steering and braking systems. Magnets are also used as fastening components, for example for panelling, holders and more - with almost unlimited solution possibilities. Another advantage is that magnet systems are independent of the respective drive type and are therefore in demand both for classic combustion engines and in the field of electromobility.

Magnetic systems in the manufacturing process of the automotive industry

In addition to their use in the actual automobile (whether passenger car or commercial vehicle), magnet systems also make a significant contribution to the automated production of automobile manufacturers or OEMs . For example, magnets are used in parts handling in production lines, in control processes and many other areas of application in automotive manufacturing processes where flexibility, reliable performance and long-lasting functionality are important.

In concrete terms - Brugger magnet systems are used in a wide range of applications in the automotive industry . Here are a few examples

• Positioning surveillance cameras and scanners in production

• Oil drain plugs for filtering metal particles
