Hernon Manufacturing: Hernon Offers Adhesives for Magnet Bonding

SANFORD, FL - Hernon Manufacturing, Inc.®, a leading producer of high-performance adhesives, sealants, UV LED curing lights and precision dispensing systems, offers electronics adhesives for magnet bonding in electric motors. Recently there have been many improvements in polymer cure technology and these improvements have made the adhesives more "manufacturing friendly." Adhesives provide a strong bond while protecting components against the damaging effects of excessive vibration, heat, moisture, corrosion, mechanical shock and extreme environmental conditions. When compared to mechanical fastenings such as nuts and bolts or spot welding, adhesives often perform better. Modern adhesives create a high-quality joint, often at a lower cost, with less labor and no damage to the substrate. Electric motor manufacturers use adhesives and sealants to improve performance, simplify the manufacturing process and reduce costs. The products used include thread-lockers, gasket products, magnet bonding adhesives, retaining compounds and instant adhesives. Magnets are bonded in place with adhesives for several reasons. First, the structure of a magnet is brittle and subject to cracking under pressure. Using clips or metal fasteners is discouraged because these methods focus stress into points on the magnet. In contrast, adhesives disperse bonding stresses much more evenly across the surface of a bond. Second, any space between metal fasteners and the magnet allows for vibration, resulting in increased noise and wear on parts. Adhesives are therefore preferred to minimize noise. Hernon Manufacturing is an ISO-9001:2008 registered company with a total solutions approach, offering adhesives, sealants and dispensing equipment. The company has a 43-year history and is headquartered in Sanford, where it has contributed to some of the nation's most sensitive projects including Atlas rocket systems, Excaliber missile systems and even nuclear submarine manufacturing.
