Assembly For OEMs

Magnetic Component Assembly Services

General Linear Systems provides assembly services for OEMs that need magnetic components incorporated into reliable, production-ready assemblies. With more than 50 years of magnetic component manufacturing experience, General Linear can support projects from initial print review and prototyping through ongoing production.

Keeping winding and assembly with the same manufacturing partner can also reduce unnecessary supplier handoffs and make it easier to maintain consistency as production volumes increase. General Linear works with engineering and procurement teams that need a dependable manufacturing process rather than a one-time component source.

Assembly Support for Magnetic Components

Assembly is often the next step after a coil, transformer, inductor or other magnetic component has been manufactured. Depending on the customer's design, the wound component may need to be combined with additional parts before it is ready to be installed in a larger system.

General Linear manufactures a wide range of magnetic components, including solenoid and bobbin coils, toroidal products, inductors, transformers, current sensors and air coils. Assembly services allow customers to consolidate more of that manufacturing work with one supplier while General Linear follows the drawings, materials and requirements established for the program.

For new projects, the process typically starts with the customer's prints and specifications. General Linear can evaluate the design and material requirements, develop a rapid prototype and then prepare the assembly for recurring production. Prototype turnaround can typically be completed in approximately three to four weeks.

Applications for Magnetic Component Assembly

Magnetic components rarely operate on their own. They become part of valves, actuators, sensing systems, power electronics, controls and other larger assemblies. General Linear's role is to help customers move from an individual wound component toward a more complete assembly that fits into their final product.

Combining winding and assembly can be particularly useful for OEMs trying to simplify their supply chain. Instead of moving components between multiple vendors for different manufacturing steps, customers can establish a more streamlined path from prototype through repeat production.
