Neodymium Magnet Information

Especially during the holiday season, long-haul truck drivers are under a lot of pressure to drive long distances under short time frames. On top of that, supply chain issues have added another level of stress. To make life on the road a little bit easier and less stressful, truck drivers can use strong neodymium magnets in many helpful ways. Because the inside of trucks are made of mostly metal or steel, magnets are incredibly useful.  Here are five ways to implement magnets in trucking:  Continue reading →

If you’re a lawnmower manufacturer, you’re probably aware of the benefits of using magnets in lawnmowers. For instance, they are reliable and allow mowers to run without a battery. In particular, magnets play an important role in generating power for the spark plug inside the mower’s magneto. They can also be used as a magnetic sweeper on commercial lawnmowers to avoid hazardous materials flying out at high speeds when mowing over them.  Continue reading →

Read on to learn how you can use magnetic displays in your business! Continue reading →

According to the Center For Climate and Energy Solutions, “renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, increasing 100 percent from 2000 to 2018.” From a global standpoint, global electricity generation is expected to rise to 45 percent by 2040. This means that renewable energy will be largely consumed for heating, cooling, and transportation. Noting renewable energy growth potential and the overall societal shift toward green energy, it is important to think about how your business can help minimize its carbon footprint.  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 keep magnetic materials equally spaced out 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 →
