IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
It has been brought to our attention that modellers are experiencing problems with flaking of the nickel plating used to enclose the neodymium sintered powder.
This has been known to cause serious motor and armature damage which then require replacement.
We have pointed out on several occasions that this only occurs when using the cheap magnets that are available on the open market.
Beware. The use of these cheap magnets can ultimately result in being a very expensine mistake.
Westport Magnet Technologies.
Serious rail hobbyists want the best because every one of us has wasted time and money on inferior products. Westport Magnet Technologies has provided superior Neodymium magnets for discerning model makers since 1999.
NEODYMIUM HISTORY.
In 1982 General Motors Corporation, Sumitomo Special Metals and The China Academy of Sciences discovered the Nd2Fe14B compound. The effort was principally driven by the high cost of permanent magnets, which had been developed earlier.
General Motors focused on the development of nanocrystalline Nd2Fe14B magnets, while Sumitomo developed Nd2Fe14B magnets. General Motors Corporation commercialised its inventions of isotropic Neo powder, bonded Neo magnets and the related production processes by founding Magnequench in 1986.
Magnequench is now part of Neo Materials Technology Inc. and supplies Nd2Fe14B powder to bonded magnet manufacturers.
QUALITY
We have never, nor indeed will we ever, sacrifice quality by producing inferior products in favour of price.
We pride ourselves in producing the best magnets in todays market place and through continued investment in research and development we will ensure that the very best products will be availabe at the earliest opportunty, including an ever expanding range.
WHY ARE THEY BETTER?
Our magnets are at least 53% stronger than any other model product available as verified by independent laboratory assessment and analysis. Our production process combines the latest computer and laser technology to produce a magnet that is an exact, easy-to-fit direct replacement for your model. It will not only dramatically boost performance but other results show improved low-end torque, smoother travel at slow speeds and a virtual end to overheated motors.
WHO USES OUR MAGNETS?
We supply magnets to three major model manufacturers on three continents as well as model shops, model railway clubs and slot car racing clubs. In addition, universities, laboratories and engineering companies all rely on our magnets to be the best available.
BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.
If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, return your magnet for a full refund, no questions, no quibble. But we are confident that you will not only be satisfied but delighted at having the very best magnet made in your models.
WHICH LOCO DO THEY FIT.
