When you’re riding a roller coaster, the last thing you’re thinking is, “What’s the science behind this contraption?” Your thoughts are more aligned with “Yahoo!” or “Weeeeee!” Roller coaster technology is fascinating, though, and it just so happens that it utilizes magnets.  These days, your favorite roller coasters use electrically induced magnetic fields and a launch system to propel coaster trains forward and slow them down. Two primary types of launch systems used are the linear synchronous motor (LSM) and linear induction motor (LIM). LSM is now the more common choice for new launch coasters, while LIM is generally a simpler, cheaper system that is typically less energy efficient.  Continue reading →

We all know that conveyor belts move materials from one location to the next on the continuously moving belt, but what about magnetic conveyor belts? Unlike typical conveyor belts, magnetic conveyor belts have permanent ceramic magnets under the surface to carry ferrous materials from one place to another. Magnetic conveyor belts hold magnetic materials in place and can prevent them from toppling over on a vertical, incline, or horizontal belt.  Could your business benefit from using a magnetic belt? Read on to learn about different types of magnetic conveyor belts that you could implement — each magnetic conveyor belt type is built for specific applications.  Continue reading →

If you work in the automobile or industrial machinery industry, you probably understand the importance of clean oil and machine reliability. When oil is contaminated with ferrous solids (iron or steel particles), it creates heat, friction, and vibrations, which negatively impact the oil integrity and the machine itself. In order to remove contaminants, magnetic filtration is necessary. According to tribologists and oil analysts, 90% of all particles suspended in oil can be ferromagnetic in some machines. Therefore, it is imperative that machinery has effective magnetic filtering systems.  Continue reading →
