Magnetic Head Pulleys The Magnetic Head Pulleys replaces the standard head pulley of a conveyor to provide continuous separation of disruptive tramp ferrous metal from a conveyed product, it is simple to install and requires minimal maintenance. Ideal for magnetic separation when space is limited Pulley options: Permanent Magnetic Head Pulley – made from ferrite [...]
Magnetic Applications Package Closure Magnets Design Considerations In addition to your physical and design aesthetic requirements, we'll want to know the closure retention force in order to determine whether two magnets or one magnet with a steel disc or strike plate should be used. Air Gap (the space between the magnets or steel receptive piece) [...]
Who Discovered Magnets and Other Rare Facts We all know that magnets attract iron particles. We have seen fridge magnets, other decorative articles, and even some toys that use magnets. We have heard of the applications of magnetism in daily life. But have we thought of who must have discovered magnets and when? Who [...]
Applications for Magnetic Sensors Magnetic sensors are used in many industrial applications for contactless current sensing, linear and angular position, and rotation sensing. magnetic sensors are designed to provide superior performance in all of these applications. Magnetic sensor products are based on its unique MLU-patented technology. In contrast to Hall devices that generally have low [...]
Magnetic Encoder Engine Technology An optical encoder uses light (optics) to identify unique positions for the encoder. A magnetic encoder uses the same principle to determine a position as an optical encoder, but it does it using magnetic fields rather than light. With a magnetic encoder, a large magnetized wheel spins over a plate of [...]
Plastic and Glass Manufacturing Industry - Magnetic Applications In order to give product a good quality base, it is must that all the impurities should be removed from the basic raw materials. Various types of raw materials are used for making glass and plastics. These raw materials are first cleaned by subjecting them to various [...]
Food and Pharmaceutical Industry - Magnetic Applications Food and medicines are directly related to your health hence extra care is needed during there processing. The product stream, both in the pharmaceutical and food processing industry must be protected from being contaminated by tramp iron materials. There are wide range of equipments that can detect and [...]
Use of Magnets Permanent magnet applications in general can be divided into four categories, as follows: CATEGORY 1 Applications that make use of the tractive and/or repelling force of the magnet, i.e., the attraction between a magnet and a soft magnetic material, such as a piece of iron or steel, or the attraction or repulsion [...]
MAGNETIC APPLICATIONS Magnets magnetically capture and control ferrous contaminants in material process systems. Primary Magnets Primary magnets are designed to be used in high volume process flows placed inline so as not to introduce any foreign contaminants from external sources into your production facility. They will remove large amounts of ferrous tramp between cleaning cycles [...]
