- Parallel magnetic field press
- A method of pressing a sintered magnet in which the direction of the magnetic field applied for orientation during the magnetic powder pressing is parallel to the molding press pressure direction. This is also called vertical magnetic field pressing. On the other hand, the pressing method in which the magnetic field direction and pressing direction are perpendicular is called perpendicular magnetic field pressing (horizontal magnetic field pressing). Because the orientation state of the magnetic particles is disrupted by the pressing punch pressure, the product's magnetic characteristic is lower than for perpendicular magnetic field pressing. However, in some cases the product shape and magnetization direction require the use of parallel magnetic field pressing.
