Magnetism. What is it?We say we know what magnets are, but are we really aware of what magnetism means? Probably the best known and classic application in which we benefit from magnetic forces is the compass. In the end, even our own land is a big magnet. In fact, the phenomenon of magnetic attraction was first discovered in Greece. In the city of Magnesia it was observed ...
What are electromagnetic waves?Electromagnetic waves are waves that we cannot see but are composed of electromagnetic energy. Since the forces of this energy or electric and magnetic fields change both temporally and spatially, they are known as waves.But how are these electromagnetic waves ...
Automotive magnetsAt first glance, it may not look like it, but magnets are increasingly used in a wide variety of areas of the automotive industry. Not only on the production lines, but also in the car itself: in loudspeakers, ABS systems, windscreen wipers or in the door lock, magnets ...
What is Lorentz's strength?Lorentz's strength was discovered by Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz and describes the force acting on individual moving electrical charges within a magnetic field. A possible definition and the physical formula with which the Lorentz force is calculated is as follows:"If a charged particle "q" moves at a velocity "v" perpendicular to the field lines of ...
What is hysteresis?To clarify what hysteresis is, we must first look at the term itself. The hysteresis comes from the Greek histeros (ὕστερος), which can be translated as "posterior". Hysteresis is translated into German as "aftereffect".This is exactly what hysteresis is all about. Therefore, a general definition of the term is: "It is the tendency of a material to retain one of its properties, ...
Maxwell's equationsElectric and magnetic charges are closer to each other than some might have thought. Maxwell's 4 equations describe exactly this fact. That is, the generation and therefore also the size or strength of the magnetic and electric fields. They were defined by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 and still provide the basis for electrodynamics today.Maxwell's ...
Injected plastics and the production of plastic injection moulded partsInjected plastics are parts that would be manufactured using injection moulds. The advantage is that these parts are completely customized and can therefore be created for a wide variety of applications.At IMA we offer exactly this service to our customers. Thanks to our experience, we can advise ...

IMA Injection Mold ManufacturerInjection moulding technology is a manufacturing method with which parts can be produced in a variety of ways for all industries. In this process, the plastic is liquefied and put into a mould. As soon as the plastic has cooled and hardened again, it can be removed from the mold and the part is ready for use.The advantage ...
What are Voltage Stabilizers and what types are there?Voltage stabilizers are used to protect machinery and electrical equipment from voltage fluctuations. This ensures that they always work at a constant voltage and maintain the quality of the power supply. The devices are very simple and intuitive to use, in our range we offer three types of voltage stabilizers, all equipped ...
IMA has manufactured 64 magnetic filters for Europe's largest chocolate manufacturer.IMA has worked on a large project forthe food industry , which requires high-quality standards and a certain degree of safety throughout the production process.One of the needs of companies in the ...

What is a permanent magnet? What types are there?A permanent magnet is a material that can provide magnetic flux when magnetized with an applied magnetic field and its magnetism capability is characterized by two key parameters: remanence and coercitivity.In general, ...
What are neodymium magnets or supermagnets?Neodymium magnets consist of an alloy of neodymium, boron, and iron, or NdFeB for short, also known as supermagnets. Super magnets have a much higher adhesive strength than conventional magnets, which means they are very strong magnets and can withstand more weight. They are needed in different industrial applications. The magnets are used, for example, ...

How can I have a magnetic wall in my home?Business cards, notes, papers, and appointments often pile up on kitchen counters or the desk in piles of papers. These days, people prefer a magnetic wall to a cork noticeboard to bring order to the chaos. You can attach your paper without damaging the wall. It can also be used as ...

The Gauss. The strength of the magnetic fieldThe Gauss is nothing more than the unit used to measure the strength of a magnetic field and gaussmeter the instrument used to make that measurement. The higher the number of Gauss, the more force the magnetic field will have, so the greater the distance will be reached from the surrounding magnet. This measure is ...
