From this Article:
Magnetic sensors indirectly measure properties such as direction, position, rotation, angle and current by detecting the magnetic field and its changes. Compared to other direct methods, such as...

From this Article:
NeoForm® material produces almost twice as much flux density as anisotropic ceramic magnets (grades 5 - 8), so substituting NeoForm® material is a fairly safe way to extract greater...

From this Article:
A hysteresis alloy's composition, orientation and heat treat are optimized to produce maximum hysteresis losses. Generally materials are engineered to reduce losses. Hysterloy is usually supplied in...

From this Article:
Indeed there are. There has been much work on alloys based on a compound of Sm-Fe-N [aka Samarium-Iron Nitrides]. Although these materials do not as yet have the kinds of energy products that we are...

From this Article:
Nd-Fe-B magnets have improved dramatically over the last 10 years. But they still contain iron and other reactive phases, and will rust. Nd-Fe-B is a blended powder before it is pressed into a magnet....
(Magnets)
From this Article:
As a general rule, cast or sintered magnet materials are very hard (RC46). This is 46 on the Rockwell "C" scale, which is harder than commercially available drills and taps, so tools will heat up and...
(Magnets)
From this Article:
What's the difference between the intrinsic curve and the normal curve? I understand that we generally use normal curve when designing the magnets, so when is the intrinsic curve used? The intrinsic...
(Magnets)
From this Article:
Magnetic flux lines can not cross each other, so magnets in repulsion develop radial vectors whose intensity increases as the magnets approach each other. To the extent that the amplitude of the...

From this Article:
"How do I convert an Amp-Turn rating to Gauss?" and other questions....
(Magnets)
From this Article:
Magnetic flux will travel along the path that offers it the least amount of resistance, (or, more accurately, the least amount of reluctance). Steel components in a magnetic circuit offer the flux a...
(Magnets)
From this Article:
Magnet strength needs to be defined. Magnet strength actually is a measure of total flux in the area of interest. If greater holding strength is desired, then more Br is needed, and since holding...

From this Article:
The Curie temperature refers to the transition temperature above which ferromagnetic materials lose their useful magnetic properties. Ferrite materials are actually ferromagnetic materials [a similar...
(Magnets)
From this Article:
All magnetic materials are at all times as fully magnetized as their thermal state permits. Prior to "magnetization" their magnetic domains arrange randomly to minimize their internal (and external)...
(Magnets)
From this Article:
Eddy current devices have a straight-line torque-speed characteristic, with the torque increasing linearly with the speed by virtue of the fact that the induced currents vary in magnitude with the...

From this Article:
The Helmholtz coil test method is well suited to modern high coercivity magnet materials and can be implemented at relatively low cost. The theory behind the method is taught in physics books and has...

From this Article:
Geared devices are a necessity in many types of downhole tools. The primary purpose of gearing is to provide either a speed change or a force change. Limitations in diameter on most downhole tools...
