What is a Magnet?
A magnet is something that can pull on some metals. It’s like it has invisible hands! The most common metal it pulls is iron.
Magnets All Around Us!
You can find magnets in many places. Let’s look:
1. In Your Home!
- Fridge magnets: These stick to your fridge and hold pictures!
- Refrigerator seals: Magnets keep the door closed so your food stays cold!
- Magnetic door latches: These hold doors closed, like on a cabinet.
- Magnetic hooks: You can hang things on them!
- Magnetic knife holders hold on to knives, so they don’t get lost.
- Magnetic curtain holders: These are to keep curtains open or shut.
- Magnetic closures (bags/clothing): Instead of buttons!
- Magnetic name tags for wearing your name, without pins.
2. In Your Toys!
- Toy building sets (e.g., Magna-Tiles): They snap together with magnets!
- magnetic sheet for making fun shapes.
- Magnet fishing tools find things in water.
- Magnetic building toys: So fun to build with!
- Magnetic sculpture kits: Make cool shapes!
- neodymium ball magnets for stacking and building
We sell toys magnets! You can make so many things.
3. In Your School!
- Magnetic whiteboards: Markers stick to them!
- Compass navigation tools: They use magnets to show you north!
- Science lab equipment like magnetic stirrers, which mix things up! We even make Education and Research magnets. They help people learn and study!
4. Inside Things You Use Every Day!
- Smartphones: They have tiny magnets inside! Apple’s MagSafe.
- Audio headphones: Magnets help them make sound!
- Loudspeakers: They make the music you hear loudly by using magnets.
- Hard disk drives: They save your pictures and games!
- Credit card strips: The black strip is a magnet!
- Smartphone cases with magnets for attaching them to metal surfaces.
- Reed switches. Tiny switches that work using a magnetic field!
- Magnetic phone mounts for holding a phone in a car.
- Magnets are very small inside Audio Equipment.
5. Really Big Magnets!
- Electric motors that power many machines.
- Electric vehicle motors: These help cars go! A Tesla car uses about 4 kg of magnets! ^4
- Wind turbine generators: They make power from the wind! One big turbine can use 600 kg of magnets. ^5
- MRI machines: These big machines help doctors see inside you!
- Tidal Energy Generators and Wave Energy Generators.
- Powertrain Systems and Autonomous Driving also use magnets.
- magnetic modules and magnetic systems are often custom made. Magnets in Industrial Motors are very important. We make motor magnets and servo motor magnet.
The Strongest Magnets: Neodymium!
The best magnets are called neodymium magnets. They are super strong! (Neodymium magnet) We make these! They are also called NdFeB magnets.
- They are used in lots of things, like electronics.
- We make Customized NdFeB Magnets. Any shape or size!
- They come in different strengths, like N35, N42, or N52. The bigger the number, the stronger the magnet!
- We have Magnet Grade from N35 to N52.
Magnet Strength | How Strong? |
---|---|
N35 | Strong |
N42 | Stronger! |
N52 | Strongest!! |
Different Kinds of Neodymium
There are many kinds of neodymium magnets! They have letters like M, H, SH, UH, EH, and AH after the number. . For example, we offer many types, including:
N33M, N35M, N38M, N40M, N42M, N45M, N48M, N50M.
N30H, N33H, N35H, N38H, N40H, N42H,N44H, N46H, N48H.
N30SH, N33SH, N35SH,N38SH,N40SH,N42SH,N44SH, N46SH.
These letters mean they can be used in hot places!
Magnets Need Coats!
Magnets can get rusty. So, we give them coats! Like a jacket for a magnet!
- Magnet Coating: It protects the magnet.
- We even had PTFE Coating and Teflon Coating.
Where to Buy Magnets
You can find magnets in many stores:
- Home Depot and Lowes: For small projects.
- Amazon: You can buy lots of magnets here!
- Best Buy and other stores will have them available.
- But for big magnets, or special magnets, you should buy from a Neodymium Magnets Factory!
Magnets from Nature!
Some rocks are magnets! They are called magnetite. ^7 People used these rocks a long, long time ago to find their way. Magnetite used to be 72%, but now, it’s very rare.
Magnets in Other Places
- Junkyard separation systems used to sort different kinds of scrap and find things.
- Industrial conveyor belts: These move things in factories.
- Recycling Facilities to sort and recover metals.
- Jewelry clasps for necklaces.
- Magnetic therapy products which can improve sleep.
- Magnetic levitation trains: These trains float!
- Eddy current separators: Sort different metals in recycling.
- Magnetically shielded rooms have no magnetic field.
- Particle accelerators: For experiments for scientists.
- Security systems (anti-theft tags).
- Geomagnetic observatories for studying the earth.
- Solar Panel Components which generate electricity from sunlight.
Magnets in Cars!
Magnets are very important in cars! Especially Electric Vehicles!
applications of magnets in cars:
- magnets in automotive sensors.
- automobile industry is a big user.
- automotive manufacturing needs many magnets.
- adas and Hybrid Vehicles.
Magnets for Doctors!
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, uses very big magnets! [^8] Doctors may use magnets for medical devices.
More Places to Buy!
