Magnets, Explained

Principles, applications and buying guides — straight from the factory.

Applications Robot Joint Motors: Magnets in the Humanoid Robotics Boom A humanoid robot carries 30–50 actuators, and every one is built around NdFeB. What robot joints demand from magnets — from the… Applications Magnets in Medical Devices: From Pumps to Imaging Sealed couplings, sterilization cycles, biocompatible coatings and lot-level traceability — where magnet selection has consequences beyond warranty. Factory & QC How Magnets Are Tested: Flux, Pull Force, Salt Spray, Declination Datasheets are promises; testing is where they meet instruments. The test floor machine by machine, and how to read a report like… Buying Guide Low-MOQ Magnet Sourcing from China: What Buyers Should Know “MOQ 10,000” has killed more good products than bad engineering. Where minimums really come from, and the four ways sane factories shrink… Applications EV Traction Motors: Why NdFeB Powers New Energy Vehicles One to three kilograms of the most engineered NdFeB on Earth per car. Rotor life at 180 °C, grain-boundary diffusion, and what… Magnet Basics Magnetic Circuit Design Basics: Air Gaps, Yokes and Flux Paths The magnet is only half the design. Steel, gaps and geometry decide where flux actually goes — identical magnets can differ 3×… Applications Wireless Charging and Magnets: How Qi Alignment Works Wireless charging is really alignment-sensitive charging. How centring rings, cradle pucks and sensing magnets make induction actually work. Magnet Basics Ferrite (Ceramic) Magnets: Composition, Grades and When to Use Them The least glamorous magnet material and the most shipped one. Y30/Y35 numbers, the quiet virtues, and designing around the two real weaknesses. Buying Guide Air Shipping Magnets: IATA Rules and Shielded Packaging Magnets have their own aviation rulebook. The field thresholds, the packaging tricks that pass them, and the questions to ask any supplier.
