Neodymium Magnet Information

Pump technology has evolved over time to allow engineers to use smaller magnetic drive pumps while simultaneously making them more powerful and efficient. Rare earth magnets allow for this compact design due to their high strength. In addition to magnet technology, new pump designs have increased pump lifetime usage, reduced power loss due to eddy currents, and even reduced downtime due to maintenance. Perhaps most important, magnetic drive pumps offer minimal to zero leakage of pumped medium/fluid. Continue reading →

We’ve written extensively about the impact of magnets on the transportation industry, specifically cars. From brake systems and brake lights to sensors and motors, magnets are used in varied capacities throughout even the average vehicle. One system we haven’t covered is the steering system or electric power steering system (EPS). These days, the majority of commercial cars have one as it impacts safety, comfort, and stability. An EPS system uses an electric motor, which in turn uses permanent magnets, to operate. Continue reading →

Visually, you can see the evolution of the sportbike through time, with models trending smaller and sleeker. This ongoing reduction in size and weight is reflected in the magnetic technology that makes using them possible. The magnetic materials required to operate a motor and eventually a rare-earth “mini” motor have changed over time, but it’s fair to say that modern...

Use neodymium magnets to optimize your entire operation, including individual employees’ work stations, and make the business more visible to employees. Continue reading →

When you purchase a necklace, ring, or watch, you pay good money due to the high-quality material used to make it, like gold or silver. Unfortunately, there are times when these items can be deceiving to you and your wallet. Certain places take advantage of customers by making fake products that have the appearance of more expensive materials while still...

All over the country, people type into their Google search engines, “Best gifts for Dads” and “Gift ideas for my husband.” If you sell accessories for grills and meat smokers, then it’s your time to shine!  Continue reading →

If you own a business that solicits rare coins, or you plan to start one, there is one thing that you simply must know: how to tell a fake coin from a real coin. Of course, the best answer is the most simple one — buy from reliable sources. However, running a business is rarely that simple. You may get a special deal on eBay or stumble upon what appears to be a rare antique coin, and how will you know if it’s the real deal or not? The answer: Magnets! Continue reading →

Do you own a hotel? While the job may not be quite as dramatic as depicted on The White Lotus (we hope), there is certainly a lot that goes into hotel management. Yes, you may have to deal with conflict among the staff or between surly customers, but the job doesn’t end there. There’s also the “silent” work, including budgeting and updating technological systems. For instance, traditional key cards use technology fueled by magnets. There may, however, come a time when you have to choose between specific magnetic technologies, so it’s important to know their pros and cons.  Continue reading →

Have you ever been in a plane, ready to take to the skies, and they tell you there’s been a delay? That’s right, they have to de-ice the plane. It may be annoying, but if you have a window seat near a wing, it can be an interesting process to observe. You may also be interested to know that magnets are usually involved.  Continue reading →
