What Bunting Offers
Aerospace and Defense:
Bunting’s magnetic capabilities in consumer products are vast. These products are diverse and complex, demanding Bunting’s engineering expertise to find the optimum solution and utilising our production process to manufacture it. For over 50 years, we have developed unique solutions for thousands of customer products. Our unique capabilities, such as our injection moulding capability, allow us to produce highly unique magnets with special features that are unable to be produced by other manufacturing methods. Bunting has served many different consumer industries in the past, and our magnetic assemblies are essential to making the modern lifestyle we all live possible. Magnets are present in your cell phone, your tablet, your computer, and other electronic devices such as speakers and cameras. Anti-theft devices at department stores utilise magnets in sensors to deter shoplifting. In the home, magnets can be found in every room as they are used in appliances such as home security systems, washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and blenders.
Bunting is a trusted name in aviation, military, and defense applications. Bunting is ITAR registered and DFARS compliant, making us approved to support military and defense projects. Our products have withstood the high standards of many defense related customers and programs. We have supplied magnets and magnetic assemblies on several missile programs as well as magnets and magnetic assemblies used in flight control decks for both commercial and fighter aircraft. We are equipped to meet the most stringent quality and security demands. Our design process for military and civilian aerospace projects puts your needs first and designs a product to meet them perfectly. We consider critical design issues such as dimensional, magnetic flux, thermal, environmental, and more. We seek to design products that don’t simply “do” a job, but optimise the way that job is done. Our designs go above and beyond in order to reduce cost, reduce weight and size, and increase efficiency. We are committed to durable, lasting products that perform to the highest standard, no matter how harsh the conditions they are operating in may be.

Magnetic Sensors: Bunting offers first-hand, unmatched sensor/magnet design and industry experience in numerous industries and applications. Magnetic sensors (sensors activated by a magnetic field) are vital devices in many applications and industry segments. Their primary function is to interact with a magnetic field and convert mechanical motion or position to an electrical signal. These sensors operate with no need for contact, no physical wear or tear, and are able to work through sealed barriers with high reliability. Within a sensor, the role of the permanent magnet is to provide a magnetic field in an air gap. This field can be constant and extremely precise, or vary in magnitude and direction. When determining the ideal magnet for your application, our engineers help you select the best magnet first in terms of cost-efficiency, grade, and optimised geometry. Our engineering team then goes on to analyse your environmental factors including temperature and humidity; mechanical requirements such as vibration, air gap, tolerances, and electrical conductivity; and your magnetic field strength, orientation, and number of poles required by your sensing IC. In order to meet the challenging requirements of modern sensor applications, Bunting can provide a full range of materials covering numerous product geometries, grades, and processing operations while achieving superior product quality.
