Use of Permanent Magnets in Levitation Devices
Introduction to Magnetic Levitation Devices Magnetic levitation is a technology used in suspending an object in the air using magnetic fields. It involves using magnetic force to overcome gravitational force. It is also referred to as maglev technology. Magnetic levitation is a frictionless method of lifting objects. It is also more efficient as less energy

Permanent Magnets Used in Electric Guitar
Magnets are a fundamental unit in every electric guitar, without which the guitars may not function. Electric guitar pickups typically contain one or two magnets to generate a magnetic field from the electrical impulse. The two most commonly used permanent magnets used in guitar pickups are AlNiCo magnets and ceramic magnets. What are Guitar Pickups?

What is the Magnetization Direction for Permanent Magnets?
Introduction Magnetization direction is used to describe the direction of a magnetic pole in the magnet. The magnetization direction is determined before the magnet is magnetized. It is not something that is left to chance because it determines how the magnet is applied. To understand how a particular magnet is best applied, it is essential

Samarium Cobalt Magnets: Features and Applications
Introduction Samarium cobalt magnets are permanent magnets. They are one of the rare-earth magnets and are typically made from Samarium and Cobalt. In the production of this magnet, the Samarium portion can be replaced with cerium, praseodymium, and gadolinium, while the cobalt portion can be replaced with transition metals. This magnet was formulated by Karl

How Does Temperature Affect Samarium Cobalt Magnets?
How Does Temperature Affect Samarium Cobalt Magnets? Samarium cobalt magnets are rare earth magnets made from samarium, cobalt, and other metallic rare earth materials. They have a high magnetic energy product, a very low-temperature coefficient, and a maximum operating temperature of 350°C. Although their maximum magnetic energy product (BHmax), coercivity, temperature stability, and chemical stability exceed those
