A system for automatically magnetically gripping non-magnetic objects. The system includes a robotic arm, a magnetic actuator, and a free magnetic element. The magnetic actuator may be coupled to an end effector of the robotic arm. A non-magnetic object may be placed between the free magnetic element and the magnetic actuator. The magnetic actuator may magnetically attract the free magnetic element to securely grasp the non-magnetic object therebetween. A corresponding method is also disclosed and claimed herein.

A wire coil component includes a shaped article, a wire wound around the shaped article, and terminal electrodes to which the ends of the wire are connected. The shaped article is formed from a magnetic resin containing a binder resin and a magnetic metal powder and has a thermal expansion coefficient of about 12 ppm/K or more and about 16 ppm/K or less (i.e., from about 12 ppm/K to about 16 ppm/K) from 55 C. to 150 C.

A rotor of an electric machine includes a rotor core defining a magnet channel extending axially between opposing ends of the rotor core. A permanent magnet is disposed in the channel and has opposing ends and opposing major sides. The magnet includes a central piece of anisotropic magnetic material having a first magnetically easy crystallographic axis, and a corner piece of anisotropic magnetic material joined to the central piece and having a second magnetically easy crystallographic axis that is oblique to the first easy axis.

A coil component includes a body, a coil part embedded in the body, and an insulating layer covering the body. First and second plating electrodes are disposed between the body and the insulating layer, are connected to the coil part, and are disposed to be spaced apart from each other on one surface of the body. First and second through electrodes penetrate through the insulating layer to thereby be connected to the first and second plating electrodes, respectively.
