Can a Magnet Lose its Properties?Everyone knows what a magnet is, but not all understand magnetic properties and how they are affected by time, temperature, wear and external magnetic fields. Magnets are made from ferromagnetic materials and have tiny magnetic domains. In the natural state, these domains aren't aligned and exhibit little if any magnetism. When a strong magnetic field is ...
Separation of contaminants with magnetic separation systemsIn many technical processes, it is very important to separate ferrous metal contaminants mixed in with the rest of products. In the food sector, the magnetic separation of certain contaminants from food products is essential, since these ferromagnetic ...
All equipment calibrated by Magnet-PhysikThis week a highly qualified professional from the Magnet-Physik (MPS) team, a German company with more than 40 years of experience and specialized in providing magnetic calibration and measurement services to its customers, has visited our facilities.
The role that magnets have in the industry and all its usesMagnets have played a notable role for centuries from their use as compasses to Chinese acupuncture. But, it was the realization in 1820 that electric current exerts a magnetic force that led to the widespread application of magnets in industry.A lot has changed, and magnets are ...
Industrial magnets for cars with autonomous driving"We do not know if in the future cars will fly but they will circulate autonomously with the help of magnetic products"Although the concept of flying cars has been shown to have practical possibilities, implementation of such bold and innovative technology is difficult, expensive and limited by requirements for drivers to ...

It has the ability to manufacture magnets in different locations to reach its customers in the shortest possible time. It is also a leader in the production and export of magnets in the automotive industry, a sector in continuous evolution, where ...
Magnets or Dual Lock? Magnetic or adhesives systems?For many years, different mechanical fastening systems used in various elements or situations, have covered multiple needs, at the same time as they were evolving and improving. Currently, they are still being used, but, to improve their support and safety, alternatives have been developed in more than one sector.One ...
Automotive applications for injected magnetsInjected magnets are a versatile and innovative solution for creating magnetic part designs with shapes and characteristics according to customer requirements. They are made by defining a mixture of magnetic materials such as; samarium cobalt, neodymium, strontium, or barium carbonate, which must provide the magnetic attraction capacity, residual induction, and coercive field that the customer has ...
The Increased Use of Magnets in The Automotive IndustryAs automotive manufacturers respond to the need to produce vehicles that use less fuel, produce lower emissions and are more sophisticated, there has been a significant increase in the complexity of vehicle electrical control systems. This has increased the demand for powerful automotive magnets used in the manufacture of automotive actuators and drives. ...
The Future of Magnetic Separator SystemsMagnetic separation equipment of all kinds is now widely used in farming and recycling plants either to remove metallic items to improve the purity in the food or to separate items so that they can be reprocessed. The magnetic separator industry works on a number of design patterns, but the principle is always the same – ...
Automatic magnets for robotics industryThe safest system for lifting objects is the innovative Pneumatic magnetic suction cup developed by IMA.Pneumatic magnetic suction cup is a special gripping system that works with compressed air. The magnetic field is generated by a permanent magnet. The compressed air that enters into the magnetic suction cup causes a mechanical movement that allows ...

Maglev, the train that levitates with permanent magnetsJapan is rejoining the high-speed train race with a magnetic levitation train, i.e. a "Maglev", short for magnetic levitation. This means that this type of train floats thanks to permanent magnets replacing the iron previously used in the tracks. These permanent magnets are very similar to the ones we manufacture at IMA Magnet ...
