Magnetic Couplings 1. Magnetic couplings A magnetic coupling is a component which transfers torque from one shaft to another using a magnetic field, rather than a physical mechanical connection.They are also known as magnetic drive couplings, magnetic shaft couplings, or magnetic disc couplings. Traditional couplings require direct contact between the input and output shafts, and [...]
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING A LIFTING MAGNET Pay close attention to the type of the lifting magnet and its lifting capacity. Take into account general conditions in your warehouse or production plant. Inquire about the magnet’s quality and certification. Read on to learn more tips on choosing the optimal lifting magnet. Types of Lifting [...]
Innovating and Applying Neodymium Magnets in Magnetic Lifter Technology In the fields of machinery industry, mold manufacturing, and steel industry, magnetic lifters are often used to as handing tools for steel plates and mechanical parts. However,traditional electromagnetic lifter have some problems in use, such as heavy self-weight, easy to heat, short service life, and high [...]
Hall Effect Sensor We could not end this discussion on Magnetism without a mention about magnetic sensors and especially the very commonly used Hall Effect Sensor. The hall effect sensor is a type of magnetic sensor which can be used for detecting the strength and direction of a magnetic field produced from a permanent magnet [...]
Sphere & Ball Magnets Ball magnets, also known as sphere magnets, are small, spherical-shaped magnets that are similar to sphere magnets. They are typically made from materials such as neodymium or ferrite, and are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including motors, sensors, and for holding or retrieving small items. One of the [...]
Disc magnets are flat, disk-shaped magnets that are typically made of materials such as neodymium, samarium-cobalt, or ferrite. They are known for their strong magnetic properties and ability to produce a concentrated magnetic field. Disc magnets are often used in a variety of applications, including motors, generators, sensors, and speakers. They are available in a [...]
Ring magnets are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including scientific experiments, medical equipment, and manufacturing. They are shaped like a ring with a hole in the center and have north and south poles that can be segmented in different ways around the ring. The unique polarization of ring magnets allows [...]
Which Type of Pot Magnet Should You Choose? Countersunk pot magnet attached to an exhibition display sign Countersunk pot magnets A countersunk pot magnet should be chosen when a pot magnet needs to be attached to a non-ferromagnetic material securely, for example, for an exhibition display sign. This pot magnet would be an ideal choice, [...]
What Are The Different Types of Pot Magnet? Types of pot magnet: bi-pole, countersunk, internal threaded, stud and through hole There are five types of pot magnet: countersunk, internal threaded, through hole, bi-pole and stud. The pot magnets vary in their attachments, which allow them to be connected to different types of objects, such as [...]
How Does a Pot Magnet Work? Through hole and magnet on a through hole pot magnet A pot magnet works by attaching itself to ferromagnetic materials with the help of its magnetic field, or to non-ferromagnetic materials with the help of fittings (such as studs and threaded holes) on the top of its steel shell. [...]
How Does Temperature Affect SmCo Magnets? Samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets are a type of rare earth magnet known for their exceptional magnetic strength, high resistance to demagnetization, and stability across a wide range of temperatures. Unlike neodymium magnets, which tend to lose strength at higher temperatures, samarium cobalt magnets retain their magnetic properties remarkably well, [...]
Axial Flux Motor vs. Radial Flux Motor Axial flux and radial flux motors are two common motor types with distinct designs and characteristics. Each has advantages that make it suitable for different applications, from automotive to industrial uses. Here’s an in-depth comparison of their construction, performance, and ideal use cases. 1. Design and Construction – [...]
