Concrete is a vital material for construction tasks and, in turn, cement is a crucial ingredient for increasing the viscosity of concrete, allowing it to achieve structural stability. The raw materials for cement include quarried limestone, along with smaller amounts of sand, clay, shale, gypsum and iron. These materials are progressively crushed, pulverized, heated and combined to eventually produce various types of cement. It’s an exacting process that cannot tolerate the presence of ferrous materials, and that’s why industrial magnetic technology is a key part of any cement plant; providing ..read more

The Curie temperature of magnets is an extremely important factor to consider when looking at industrial magnets for your industry. Each type of magnet has a maximum temperature it can withstand, and if it exceeds that temperature, it will lose magnetic properties entirely. Your specific needs and the environment the magnet will be working in must be considered when looking at industrial magnet solutions for your industry.
What is Curie Temperature?
Curie temperature is named for Pierre Curie, who in 1895 discovered the laws that link magnetic properties to temperature. Each type of magnet has ..read more

Gauss is a term many in the industrial magnet field are familiar with. Essentially, the Gauss is one of the units we use to measure magnetic induction, or magnetic flux density. It is named for Carl Friedrich Gauss, a German mathematician and physicist who first measured magnetism.
HOW DO YOU MEASURE GAUSS STRENGTH?
The Gauss strength of an industrial magnet is measured with a Gauss meter. Unlike a pull strength test, which typically utilizes a steel surface connected to the magnet’s surface and then ‘pulled’ by an operator until it separates from the magnet, a gauss meter probe is placed on t ..read more

People often associate electromagnets with science fiction or futuristic technology, like trains that hover or large devices that can simulate a black hole. It often surprises a lot of people that electromagnets are quite commonplace and you likely have at least two in your home.
The industrial applications for electromagnets are vast. Wrecking yards use large electromagnets to move scrap metal and sometimes even vehicles from one location to another via a crane or a conveyor belt. In your own home you may find electromagnets in your speakers amplifying the sound of your favourite band. Or eve ..read more
