Introduction
Magnets are an important part of our daily lives, serving
as essential components in everything from electric motors,
loudspeakers, computers, compact disc players, microwave
ovens and the family car, to instrumentation, production
equipment, and research. Their contribution is often overlooked
because they are built into devices and are usually out
of sight.
Magnets function as transducers,
transforming energy from one form to another, without
any permanent loss of their own energy. General categories
of permanent magnet functions are:
| |
Mechanical to mechanical
- such as attraction and repulsion.
|
| |
Mechanical
to electrical
- such as generators and microphones.
|
| |
Electrical
to mechanical -
such as motors, loudspeakers, charged particle
deflection.
|
| |
Mechanical
to heat - such
as eddy current and hysteresis torque devices.
|
| |
Special
effects - such
as magneto resistance, Hall effect devices, and
magnetic resonance.

The sections to the left
will provide a brief insight into the design and application
of permanent magnets. The Design Engineering team at Integrated
Magnetics will be happy to assist you further in your
applications.
