Question 4

Strong Magnets

Accepted Answer

Strong magnets are deployed in different industries for different purposes, but for the same reasons. Strong magnets impose power in a flexible, predictable, renewable and releasable manner. On heavy kit in military hardware, logistic chains, agriculture, construction and manufacturing these magnets capture, hold, lift, carry and release the whole gamut of goods, gates, gears and gantry.Suspended over loose run bulk goods, including foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals, quarter ton plate magnets lift and arrest metallic waste. Powerful magnets are embedded in industrial scale doors, gates, trays, hatches, hoses and housings as an intuitive, predictable pull force release and sure and certain, controlled, soft close. Harnessing strong magnets, magnetic couplings, especially in liquid pumps and propeller assemblies, deliver predictable mechanical power through separation barriers. The threshold at which a magnet relinquishes power is often deployed as a torque limiter, protecting motors and gearing assemblies from excessive mechanical force in a jam or crash stop event.This fail safe function, returning equipment to a risk free state via magnetic agency, is a vital characteristic of magnetic engagement. Winches and hydraulics lean, lock, load and lift using powerful dedicated magnets to regulate and enforce the smooth, supple expression of industrial grade mechanical power.  Powerful Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets such as blocks and discs, weigh in at 500 to 1500 grams, yet offer a pull force of up to 295 kilograms. They are often harnessed in water conditioning devices for capturing or crushing heavy metals, mineral salts and rust, turning hard water soft.

Question 5

Lifting Magnets

Accepted Answer

AMF Magnetics has a a large range of lifting magnets and magnetic lifting devices. They vary between 15 and 6000 kilograms of pull force. Our magnetic lifting devices house the strongest magnets available.Lifting Magnets has different meanings. Technicians use our rubber handled magnet, (250 grams in weight), to ‘lift’ metal fragments hiding in and around valuable apparatus. Food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturers suspend plate magnets, (weighing almost a fifth of a ton), over loose goods transiting underneath to ‘lift’ or arrest furtive shrapnel. Ferrous waste is consigned to its fate, a smelting furnace.Many Magnetic Lifters in between these extremes are a cost effective and safe method of arresting ferrous material or loading or moving steel goods. Some of these models are equipped with a shackle for attaching rigging as well as a control lever. The lever in one position commits brute force magnetic suction to the load, or in the reverse position, releases. Heavy duty lifting magnets applies its force from above, removing the risk of encircling heavy cargo. Choose the right amount of pull force for you!

Question 6

Small Magnets

Accepted Answer

Small magnets are in big demand for one simple reason. People love them. As products shrink, calls for tiny magnets to power, control and fasten them grow. Small magnets play vital, multiple roles in little gadgets. They fasten, or couple/uncouple forms without penetrative or adhesive penalty. They hold and release or control componentry with a precise, ‘no touch/light touch’ protocol. Small magnets convert or transform the energy to power these devices. Little magnets make products simpler to manufacture, use and service. They enhance the durability, amenity and value of everything they (lightly) touch.Tiny magnets will continue their mighty support within disciplines including nuclear medicine, chemical and electrical engineering, and the physical sciences. Yet one relationship looms especially large. Magnets and plastics. Plastics, moulded into solid objects of truly diverse forms, reward fastening or joining with bond. Magnetic bond. Magnets join and release, and join again, as if for the first time. Magnets and plastics share vital characteristics demanded by the digital age.

Question 7

Heavy Duty Magnets

Accepted Answer

Heavy duty magnets demand respect. To prove this point, the letters of the word, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. spell out their powers. They also spell out why industrial designers specify them in heavy kit manufacturing.Heavy duty magnets housed in articulated components in cranes, trains, and heavy machinery Regulate the speed at which mechanical power is expressed or withdrawn. These regulatory limits are Enforced by torque limiters or a magnetic overload clutch. Once mechanical force breaches the designers’ pre-determined threshold these magnetic couplings dump mechanical load to protect motors and gearings. Returning equipment to a risk free state.Heavy duty magnets discriminate with extreme prejudice. That is, they are very Specific in what materials they do, or do not, attract or repel. This allows designers to design highly intuitive assemblages. By specifying which components are to be made of what type of material, magnetic agency can be exploited for optimal mechanical performance.Designers install heavy duty magnets as gate open/gate close protocols on industrial kit because of their high degree of Predictability. Pull or release forces for magnets are determined at point of manufacture and remain stable. Pure instinct for task. Magnets perform come hell or high water.Magnets embed an Efficiency dividend via their predictability and durability. Magnets are Compatible with all material, especially plastics because they do not puncture to fasten. The Territorial nature of a magnetic field, the closer in proximity the greater the pressure, is another intuitive, graduated, predictable force designers can exploit. Magnets help mechanisms express power in a manner that is nuanced and predictable. Or respectful.Browse our Neodymium Magnets for our strongest range of products.

Question 10

Permanent Magnets

Accepted Answer

Most of the magnets in stock at AMF Magnetics are classified as permanent magnets. This means that they are able to maintain a strong magnetic field indefinitely, resulting in a timeless and reliable hold! They will typically retain their magnetic strength forever unless demagnetised through a certain type of electric current or high temperatures.There are many different types of magnets that are regarded as permanent, including Rare Earth Neodymium,  Ferrite, Alnico and Samarium. For a stronger hold, Neodymium (Rare Earth) magnets offer the strongest magnetism commercially available and are unexpectedly strong for their size! Samarium magnets are similar to Neodymium in the sense that it also has an incredible pull force, however unlike Neodymium magnets they have  very high resistance to heat and can therefore operate in a more heated environment.Ferrite, also known as Ceramic magnets,  are quite brittle although very resistant to corrosion. Alnico is crafted from a blend of aluminium, cobalt, and nickel to create a magnet with a high resistance to corrosion and a high temperature stability.Permanent magnets are deployed across many fields due to their reliable characteristics and their varying shapes, sizes and capabilities.

Question 17

Powerful Magnets

Accepted Answer

Across heavy industry the roles of powerful magnets are manifold. Powerful Magnets hold, control, lift and release everything. Gearings, goods, gates and gantry. A magnet’s strength and characteristics are determined at point of manufacture and remain constant. Even at heavy duty pull strengths, magnets are extremely reliable. Heavy Industry relies on forceful magnets to express their predictable magnetic properties in all conditions, come hell or high water.The embedded instinct of powerful magnets to discriminate strongly in favour of some metals, while indifferent to others, allows designers to impose limits on componentry within precise, predictable thresholds and tolerances. A magnet’s instinct for particular materials and pressure thresholds are especially manifest in fail safe mechanisms variously referred to as magnetic bearings/couplings, torque converters/limiters: an overload clutch.As fasteners in heavy industry, magnets are not only themselves very durable materials, they protect the durability of articulated components, imposing a no touch/light touch influence at critical mechanical junctures. Super magnets embed an efficiency dividend across the entire production chain spectrum. Powerful magnets simplify hold, control, lift and release protocols in a manner that imposes and enforces regulatory control to mitigate against risk. That is very efficient!Check out or range of extremely strong Neodymium Magnets for access to our strongest Rare Earth Magnets.
