When manufacturing magnetic assemblies, there is additional risk involved when utilizing magnetized magnets due to the nature of the components. There is risk to both the assembly itself and the technician. As experts in magnetic assemblies and their fabrication, Dura minimizes these risks to safely and effectively deliver your magnetic assemblies.
Could U.S.-produced NdFeB be next? Rare earth elements, such as cobalt and neodymium, are highly valued in modern, technology-driven societies for their ability to create magnets with unique characteristics. These elements are utilized in a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications from smartphones and televisions to electric cars. Dura magnetics utilizes neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets…
Magnets are produced in a wide array of sizes, shapes, and strengths, but there are similarities between all magnetic materials. They are all relatively brittle which when coupled with their magnetic strength present a number of issues. They also invoke curiosity, and who hasn’t heard the adage of what curiosity did to the cat? Handling…
Each post in our Tech Talk blog is designed to help you better understand the complex and sometimes confusing world of magnets. In recent posts, we discussed material grade selection, machinability of magnetic alloy, and understanding how materials such as N52 neodymium are classified. This post explains how magnetic assemblies work and why they are…
The term Maximum Energy Product ((BH)max) is a commonly used, but often misunderstood figure of merit of magnets. The (BH)max is an Energy Density and it is oftentimes used to denote grade. The grade convention is especially used for Rare Earth magnets, (Neodymium Iron Boron Magnets and Samarium Cobalt Magnets). For instance, a grade 48 Neodymium Iron Boron magnet will generally have an advertised (BH)max of 48 MGOe…
