Magnetic Solutions for Automotive Sensors & Actuation Systems


Today’s vehicles rely on magnetic components to enable reliable, real-time feedback and motion control across dozens of systems. At SM Magnetics, we design and manufacture automotive-grade magnets and magnetic assemblies that deliver long-term performance, even in high-vibration, high-temperature, and constrained environments.

We collaborate with Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers to support product development from early concept to high-volume production. Whether you’re designing next-generation ADAS systems or refining compact actuation mechanisms, our magnetic solutions help you meet performance, cost, and quality targets.


Key Applications We Support:

  • Rotational & Linear Sensors – magnets designed for steering angle, throttle, brake, and seat position sensing

  • Actuators & Valves – compact, durable assemblies for HVAC, seat adjustment, and fluid control systems

  • Brake & ABS Systems – precision magnet rings for magnetic encoding and wheel speed sensing

  • Latching & Locking Mechanisms – magnetic components for power doors, liftgates, and interior haptic feedback


Complete Magnetic Assemblies & Engineering Support

We go beyond component sourcing—we engineer and deliver full magnetic assemblies ready for integration into your automotive platform. Our services include:

  • Custom magnet selection & application-specific design

  • Magnetic field simulation and FEA analysis

  • Integration with sensor housing, fasteners, and mechanical components

  • Corrosion-resistant coatings, magnetic shielding, and tight-tolerance builds

  • Testing, traceability, and documentation aligned with automotive standards

With ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified manufacturing facilities, SM Magnetics ensures the consistency, scalability, and quality that modern automotive programs demand.
