Magnet Glossary A Air Gap An air gap is non-magnetic material present between a magnet and an attracted object or between two magnets attracting each other. It acts as a break in the magnetic circuit, weakening the magnetic hold. The air gap can be filled with air, wood, plastic, aluminum, paint, or any uneven surface. [...]

NEC Tokin Develops Soft Magnetic Material To Replace Ferrite NEC Tokin Corp announced July 21, 2015, that it has developed a magnetic material whose magnetic characteristics are better than those of ferrites for high frequencies. The company has not yet decided when to start volume production of it or its price. The new material, "Senfoliage," [...]
Determining Factors that Affect Magnetic Field Strength Consider a magnet's characteristics. Magnetic properties are described using these characteristics: Coercive magnetic field strength, abbreviated Hc. This represents the point at which the magnet can be demagnetized (degaussed) by another magnetic field. The higher this number, the more difficult it is to degauss the magnet. Residual magnetic [...]
What are the Properties of a Neodymium Magnet? The main characteristic of neodymium magnets is how strong they are for their size. The magnetic field of a neodymium magnet occurs when a magnetic field is applied to it and the atomic dipoles align, which is the magnetic hysteresis loop. When the magnetic field is removed, [...]
Custom Magnetic Assemblies Magnetic assemblies are made of permanent magnets and metal housings so the magnetic circuits are altered in order to get specific magnetic characteristics or increase the durability of the magnets. The permanent magnet used to make the magnetic assembly could be any kinds. The most common ones are neodymium magnets and ceramic [...]
