The Science Behind Electromagnets People often associate electromagnets with science fiction or futuristic technology, like trains that hover or large devices that can simulate a black hole. It often surprises a lot of people that electromagnets are quite commonplace and you likely have at least two in your home. The industrial applications for electromagnets are [...]
Rare Earth Magnets: An Explainer Rare earth magnets, known for their high performance, are magnets made from alloys of rare earth elements. Developed initially in the 1970s and 80s, they quickly became a vital component in technology and industrial applications due to their relative affordability and unparalleled strength. However, the name “rare earth” is somewhat [...]
Can Magnets Lose Their Magnetism? The magnetic field of permanent magnets is not so permanent. Materials that are known as permanent magnets consist of magnetic domains, where electrons are aligned in pairs within atoms. Magnetism is weakened as a result of damage to this alignment caused by heat and electromagnetic fields. Samarium-cobalt magnets lose nearly [...]

What substances do magnetic separators typically protect? Magnetic separators are effective in any sector which has risk of ferrous particle ingress. Safety critical processes such as food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals use both primary and secondary separators to protect powders, granulates and liquids. Typical examples being flour, starch, sugar, chocolate, tea and cereal. In other industries [...]
