Permanent magnets are everywhere—in motors, electronics, speakers. But not all magnets are made the same. Some are metallic, others are ceramic. Do you know the difference? Ferrite is a type of magnetic material made from iron oxide and other metal oxides, with high electrical resistance. It’s used widely in high-frequency [...]

Magnet machining: How are magnets shaped with precision? Many people think magnets are shaped once during production—but that's not the case. Most magnets, especially rare earth ones, require careful machining to reach their final size and tolerance. Machining rare earth magnets is essential because their hard and brittle nature prevents [...]

Magnets come in all kinds of materials, sizes, and shapes. The shape of a magnet determines how it works, how it interacts with other things, and how it interacts with other magnetic fields. The shape of a magnet also determines how strong it is. Bar Magnets Bar magnets are the [...]

Neodymium magnets are used in many different industries because they are strong, small, and inexpensive. But it is important to make sure they are good magnets for the products you make. There are a few things you need to check to make sure you have a good neodymium magnet. You [...]

I almost dropped a $200 perfume bottle last week. Traditional caps slip, break, and frustrate users. Could magnetic caps be the solution luxury brands need? A magnetic cap uses embedded magnets to securely fasten perfume bottle lids through magnetic attraction. This innovation prevents spills, enhances user experience, and adds futuristic [...]

Understanding Coreless Motors Coreless motors, also known as coreless DC motors or ironless motors, are a unique category of electric motors designed without the traditional iron core in their rotor. Instead, their rotor windings are tightly wound and supported on a lightweight, non-magnetic former, which significantly reduces the motor’s overall [...]

  Neodymium magnets, also called rare Earth magnets, have become very popular because they are so strong. They are much stronger than ferrite magnets, even though they are very small. But there are some pros and cons to each, so they are better for different things.   Types of Magnets [...]

Basic Principles How Electricity is Generated Using Magnets What Is a Generator At its core, a generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This conversion relies heavily on magnets and the interaction between magnetic fields and conductors. Simply put, when a conductor such as [...]
