How to Ship Magnets by Air – Guidelines for Shipping Magnets via Air Transportation

Leave a Comment / Industrial Magnets, Industry Solutions, Measuring Magnetic Characteristics, Uncategorized /

Shipping magnets by air poses unique challenges, because magnetic fields can interfere with aircraft navigation and sensitive electronic equipment. For this reason, Adams Magnetic recommends shipping all magnetized products using ground transportation. But what happens when ground transportation isn’t an option? As a leader in engineering and manufacturing magnetic products since 1950, we’re well-versed in […]

Measuring Remanence and Coercivity with a Hysteresisgraph

Leave a Comment / Ask The Magnet Magnates, Measuring Magnetic Characteristics /

When you come right down to it, permanent magnets have two major features: They produce magnetic fields They resist demagnetization As with any technology that’s been around for a while, the industry has specific terms to describe these features: Remanence and Coercivity. Remanence tells the user how much output a magnet material grade can produce,

Measuring Permanent Magnet Characteristics with a Helmholtz Coil and Fluxmeter

Leave a Comment / Ask The Magnet Magnates, Measuring Magnetic Characteristics, Uncategorized /

Magnetic fields are invisible, so there is no way to tell if a magnet is good or bad just by looking at it. There are a variety of tools for testing available, but one of the simplest and most popular is a Helmholtz coil. Connected to a  fluxmeter,  you can use it to measure the

How well do you need to know your magnets? Using our m-axis testing equipment, magnetic moment, remanence and magnetization direction of magnetic dipoles can be characterized with high precision. The calculation is based on determination of the dipole using an integrated AMR sensor set-up. The three-dimensional position (x, y, z) of the magnet as well

How Much Weight Can a Magnet Hold & How to Measure Magnet Strength

Leave a Comment / Ask The Magnet Magnates, Measuring Magnetic Characteristics, Uncategorized /

As you read through our website, you’ll see a measurement called Pounds Pull listed for most of our stock items, but what does that really mean? Pounds pull (also called breakaway force or pull strength) is the force required to vertically detach a magnet from ferrous material. We measure it in pounds, using very specific

What Does Gauss Mean & What Does Gauss Measure?

Leave a Comment / Ask The Magnet Magnates, Measuring Magnetic Characteristics, Uncategorized /

Many companies that work with magnets in manufacturing use the term ‘gauss’ every day. Some may not know that the term originates in the work of a German mathematician named Carl Friedrich Gauss, who used mathematical principles to measure magnetism. Of course, you could probably get by without that particular trivia nugget. It’s more important
