Customer Applications
This section of our website has been created to showcase just some of the many ways magnets can be applied in your house, holiday home or business.
Rare Earth Magnets
Rare earth magnets are the strongest magnets commercially available. There are two types of rare earth magnets known as neodymium and samarium cobalt magnets; because they are so strong even small magnets can be really effective making them the magnet of choice for thousands of applications.
This section explores both neodymium magnets and samarium cobalt magnets, the types of products that are available and how they are used.
Permanent Magnets
Permanent magnets are used everywhere and without them many everyday applications and devices that we all rely on day-to-day wouldn’t be possible. From devices around the home such as washing machines, televisions, and personal computers to industrial applications such as a recycling plants and wind turbines.
This page takes a closer look at how permanent magnets work, their physical properties and their applications.
Magnetic Materials
The classification and properties of magnetic materials can be confusing. Choosing the right magnet for your application is vitally important particularly if the application is such that the consequences of a magnet failing would be extremely serious. Our technical experts pride themselves on understanding our customers’ requirements and identifying the ideal magnetic solution.
This area shares our knowledge on how magnetic materials are classified, it also introduces the magnetic materials commercially available, describes how each is manufactured and their key magnetic properties.
