Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth Magnet
Neodymium Magnets – Frequently Asked Questions
Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth are the strongest permanent magnets presently available. They are a hidden key component of mobile phones, cars, and computers. When speaking to customers, we identified a number of frequently asked questions, which we will attempt to answer in this latest blog. Technical product information: Neodymium Magnets What are Rare Earth…
Read MoreSensor Magnets
Sensors are used everywhere from vehicle engine management systems to Smartphones determining if the flip cover accessory is closed. Modern everyday life would be very different without sensors and the operation of many of these sensors rely on magnetism. As products evolve, so have the range and specification of sensor magnets. A magnetic sensor converts…
Read MoreReplicating True Radial Arc and Ring Magnets with Pseudo-Radial Arcs and Rings
The manufacture of anisotropic radially magnetised arcs and rings is significantly different to the production of diametrically magnetised rings and arcs. Radially aligned and magnetised anisotropic arcs and rings are only possible in fully dense sintered NdFeB and need a dedicated press tool and magnetising fixture and have a limited physical envelope (Max OD 85mm).…
Read MoreMetal Recovery from Electric Vehicles
Mining the Urban Environment The anticipated global increase in production and consumption of electronic goods and electric vehicles puts a huge strain on raw material reserves. Subsequently, the focus has turned from mining raw materials to reclaiming, reusing and recycling secondary materials. This is known as ‘Mining the Urban Environment’. The strategic nature of critical…

Grain Boundary Diffused Neodymium Magnets, Magnetisers and Magnet Setters are the focus for Bunting on stand C109 at this year’s Cenex LCV show (4th – 5th September, Millbrook, Bedfordshire, UK). Cenex-LCV is the UK’s premier low carbon vehicle event. The show features an extensive seminar programme and the opportunity to ride & drive the latest…
Read MoreMagnets In Space
2019 marks the 50th anniversary of when mankind first stepped onto the surface of the moon. However, not many people know that this momentous achievement would not have been possible without magnets. In this article, we review the important role of magnets in space. The guidance and navigation system computers for the Apollo 11 spacecraft…
