All About Magnetisation Directions What is Magnetisation Direction? The magnetisation direction refers to the direction of the magnetic flux between the north and south poles of a magnet. This determines the magnetic field lines between the poles of a magnet. It may be difficult to visualise the magnetisation direction, so referring to a magnetic field [...]
Coercivity by Magnet Type Introduction to Magnetic Coercivity Coercivity (coercive force), determines how well a magnet can resist external forces that would cause it to lose its magnetic properties. The forces that can demagnetise, or degauss a permanent magnet include; temperature, alternating currents and kinetic force. High coercivity is necessary for magnets that will be [...]
Which Coatings Magnets are Available? There are many types of coatings available and each one has their own unique properties and uses for different applications. Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) Epoxy Teflon (PTFE) Zinc (Zn) Black Nickel (Ni) Titanium Nitrate (TiN) Gold (Au) Copper (Cu) Which Coatings Magnets are Available Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) Coated Magnets Ni-Cu-Ni is [...]
What Shape and Size Magnets are Available? Available Magnet Shapes Permanent magnets come in a huge variety of shapes and each has its own unique benefits. The geometry of a rare earth magnet determines how the magnetic field lines are arranged from the north pole to the south pole, so the shape of the magnet [...]
Magnetic Shielding - Magnetic shields isolate an object or source from the magnetic/ Electromagnetic shields. It does not eliminate or destroy the magnetic field, the shield just allows the field to complete its path through an easy path called “path of least magnetic reluctance”. e.g. In current sensing typical U-Shield protects the sensor from parasitic [...]
How to Clean Magnetic Dry Erase Boards Our wide range of magnetic dry erase boards have three layers. The first layer is made from a special film layer called transparent PET. The second layer is white PET film and the third, magnetic layer is made from a rubber magnet. Don’t worry about layer 2 or [...]
How to Clean a Magnetic Tool Holder Regular Toothpaste Our magnetic tool holders are made from iron and ferrite magnets. In order to clean the iron, take toothpaste and smear it across the bar. Then wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth, getting rid of any toothpaste residue. Wipe gently again with a damp [...]
How to Clean a Wooden Magnetic Knife Holder This may attract dust, so take care to use a microfiber cloth the instant you see dust, and wipe while it is dry. Use gentle movements as opposed to force on your magnetic walnut knife holder. You can also get a soft cloth and dampen it with [...]
How to Clean a Stainless-Steel Magnetic Knife Holder Hot water and a Cloth The easiest way to clean our magnetic stainless steel knife holders is with water that is hot and a cotton cloth, that is soft and clean, to wipe it. In general, stainless steel is rather easy to keep clean. It is best [...]
