Button Magnets Button Magnets are designed for supporting side rails & block outs. The magnet is engaged to steel by impacting the button with the Dead Blow Mallet (or rubber mallet) & is disengaged using the Lifting Handle on the button. Button Magnets are available in 1/2 ton, 1 ton, 2 tons, & 2-1/2 tons [...]
Magnetic Chamfer Rigid steel chamfer with magnets embedded designed to create beveled edges on concrete. Magnetic steel chamfers are reusable & have magnets strong enough to securely hold the chamfer in place while still allowing for easy removal. Magnets in the steel chamfer can be embedded to make a reveal. Please contact a Fister Inc [...]
Alignment Technique for Anisotropic Injection Magnets Overview: The Alignment Technique for Anisotropic Injection Magnets refers to a specific method used in the manufacturing process of anisotropic injection-molded magnets to achieve the desired magnetic alignment or orientation within the final magnet product. Anisotropic injection magnets are a type of permanent magnet known for having a preferred [...]
Measuring Magnetic Fields After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Determine how the direction and intensity of magnetic fields can be found. Describe how a field indicator and a Hall-effect meter work. Since it is impractical to measure the actual field strength within the material, all the devices measure the [...]
Circular Magnetic Fields: Distribution and Intensity After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Explain the distribution and intensity of magnetic fields around conductors Explain what the skin effect is As discussed previously, when current is passed through a solid conductor, a magnetic field forms in and around the conductor. The [...]
Longitudinal Magnetic Fields Longitudinal magnetic fields refer to magnetic fields that are oriented parallel to the direction of propagation of a wave or particle. These fields play a crucial role in various scientific and technological applications, including particle accelerators, plasma physics, astrophysics, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the context of particle accelerators, longitudinal magnetic [...]
Electricity and Magnetism After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Discuss what happens to a compass when a wire with electrical current is near. Describe the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Why does the compass respond when it is near an electrical wire with current flowing through it? We can [...]
Electromagnetic Fields After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Describe the magnetic fields that surround a current carrying conductor. Iron filings scattered in the vacinity of a current carrying wire will reveal a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow. Magnetic field lines directed out of the page towards the [...]
Exchange Spring Magnet An exchange spring magnet is a magnetic material with high coercivity and high saturation properties derived from the exchange interaction between a hard magnetic material and a soft magnetic material, respectively. Coehoorn et al. were the first able to observe an actual exchange spring magnet.[1] Exchange spring magnets are cheaper than many [...]
The Coming Revolution in MnBi High-Strength Magnets Expensive rare-earth magnets that power high-performance motors could be on the wane within a few years thanks to new materials now emerging from research labs. Motor manufacturers that want to impress engineers often bring up the fact that their high-performance motors use rare-earth magnets. But that may soon [...]
Magnetic Field Characteristics After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Describe magnetic fields in different shaped magnets. Understand the important properties possessed by magnetic lines of force. Magnetic Field In and Around a Bar Magnet As discussed previously, a magnetic field is a change in energy within a volume of [...]
