AC Relay Magnetic Core

AC Relay Magnetic Core

The AC relay magnetic core is a core electromagnetic drive component within AC industrial control relays. It is primarily constructed from high-performance pure iron magnetic material combined with precision-stamped oxygen-free copper conductive structures. It facilitates the conversion of electromagnetic energy within the relay coil, the engagement of the moving and stationary cores, and the stable operation of the contact system. Unlike standard electromagnetic cores, AC relay cores must accommodate magnetic flux fluctuations caused by the cyclic nature of AC power; consequently, they typically feature a slotted design that optimizes magnetic circuit performance to minimize vibration, noise, and unstable engagement during AC operation. Additionally, the product integrates riveted copper stamped parts to ensure reliable conductive connections, mechanical stability, and optimized electrical performance, thereby meeting the demands of long-term, high-frequency operation in industrial control equipment.

Products Description

 

AC Relay Magnetic Core

The AC relay magnetic core serves as the electromagnetic induction heart of AC contactors and relays. Unlike standard DC cores, AC cores must overcome the issue of electromagnetic attraction pulsation caused by zero magnetic flux at the current's zero-crossing point.

Our products are typically E-type or U-type pure iron magnetic cores, characterized by the following features:

Pure Iron Base Material: Manufactured from high-purity electric iron, offering exceptionally high magnetic saturation and excellent magnetic permeability.
Slotted Design: Precision slots are machined into the core surface or pole face to effectively minimize eddy current losses and facilitate the mechanical fastening of internal components via riveting.
Riveted Copper Stamping (Shading Ring/Flux-Splitting Ring): This component is the "soul" of the AC relay. We secure a copper stamping within the slot on the core's pole face using a high-strength riveting process. When alternating current flows through the coil, an induced current is generated in the copper ring, creating a phase shift; this maintains the holding force during current zero-crossings, thereby eliminating the buzzing noise and vibration typically associated with the core.

Material Advantages: A Leap in Magnetic Performance Driven by High Purity

 

High-Permeability Pure Iron Core We utilize electrical-grade pure iron (such as the DT4 series) that meets both national and international standards; this material features extremely low coercivity and exceptionally high magnetic permeability. Consequently, our Grooved Core for AC Relays generates greater electromagnetic attraction for a given coil power input, significantly reducing relay power consumption and aligning with global trends toward energy conservation and environmental sustainability.
T2-Grade High-Purity Copper Shading Ring The riveted component is crafted from T2 copper, boasting a copper content of 99.9%. Its high electrical conductivity ensures smooth induced current flow, minimizing heat generation within the shading ring itself. Compared to cheaper brass or aluminum alternatives, these stamped copper parts provide a more stable magnetic-splitting effect and effectively prevent the riveted joint from loosening due to thermal expansion.
Corrosion and Wear Resistance The AC Relay Core and Copper Ring undergo specialized anti-corrosion treatments (such as nickel or zinc plating). This ensures the surface remains pristine even in harsh industrial environments-such as those with high humidity or oil exposure-thereby preventing rust-induced issues like increased air gaps or mechanical jamming.
