I see the essential types of magnets as permanent, temporary, and electromagnets. Knowing their uses helps me select the right magnet for specific tasks in manufacturing, electronics, and everyday objects. Osenc provides high-quality neodymium magnets with custom solutions for unique industry needs. 🧲 What Is a Magnet? A magnet is an object that produces a…
One of the strongest Neodymium (Neo) magnets in the market today includes N52, N54, and N55. But which of them is really the most powerful? In addition to the strength, other parameters such as heat resistance and magnetic field range are important. This article provides a comparison of N52, N54, and N55 magnets, their differences…
Many buyers are currently asking one key question before placing orders: “Do you have an export license?” We understand why. Export controls and compliance requirements do exist in the rare-earth supply chain, and some products may trigger additional licensing or documentation. However, an important point is often missed: Not all magnet materials involve controlled rare-earth…
Magnet fishing is an outdoor activity that uses a strong magnet to try and grab magnetic (ferrous) metal objects from rivers, canals and lakes. In simple terms, a fishing magnet is a compact assembly of Powerful neodymium rare earth magnets, often built as single-sided discs or neodymium fishing cup magnets, that you drag along the…
A holding magnet is a device that creates a strong suction force to attract and secure metal objects right where I need them. I use these magnets whenever I want to keep something in place—whether that means lifting heavy metal sheets in a factory or snapping a cabinet door shut at home. They play a…
Halbach Arrays are special arrangements of magnets that focus almost all magnetic force on one side, leaving the other nearly field-free. I find this design fascinating because it solves real problems in industry. With Halbach, manufacturers get a stronger magnetic field where they need it, cut down on wasted energy, and make machines lighter and…
Magnetic coupling uses magnetic fields to transfer force and motion without physical contact. I find that this method prevents wear and eliminates the need for seals, which sets it apart from mechanical couplings. Neodymium magnets play a vital role in modern designs. Their strong fields, compact size, and resistance to demagnetization ensure reliable performance, even…
No, magnets—even strong neodymium magnets—are not inherently bad for batteries. If you’ve ever wondered, “are magnets bad for batteries?” the answer is no. I often hear concerns about whether magnets can drain, damage, or compromise battery safety, but in my experience, the main risks come from physical impacts rather than any interaction with battery chemistry….
Are batteries magnetic? Most batteries do not show magnetic properties. Some batteries stick to magnets because of their steel casings or certain internal metals. I check the battery type and casing to know if it reacts to a magnet. Strong magnets, like those from Osenc, may affect battery safety in rare cases. I always handle…
You would find answers to most of the usual questions people ask about magnets and magnetism, about the history of magnetism, magnetic materials, magnetic properties, magnetic orientation, magnetic poles, and others.
