Attach
Polymagnets are the world’s strongest magnets because their magnetic energy has been concentrated near the surface. Polymagnets are up to 5x stronger than conventional magnets.
Align
Conventional magnets do not necessarily align when attaching to each other. Polymagnets® are designed to align with a wide variety of alignment functions.
Latch
Latch Polymagnets repel until the magnet pair pass through a defined transition point. After the transition point they reverse polarity and attract. These amazing Polymagnets are a fundamental building block for sliding and rotating latches.
Spring
Spring Polymagnets attract until they pass through a defined transition point, passed which they will repel. These Polymagnets will come to rest at an equilibrium distance.
Polymagnet Applications
Polymagnets® can be used in a wide variety of both consumer and industrial applications. New Polymagnets are regularly being added to the Polymagnet Catalog, continually increasing the range of applications that Polymagnets can be used for.
New Product Designs with Polymagnets
Polymagnets are a unique new tool for creative product designers that can enable real product differentiation and allow magnets for the first time to be tuned and engineered. Whether in products that currently use magnets or in applications that have never been able to use magnets before, Polymagnets open up a whole new set of opportunities for innovative product designers.
Cabinet Latches
Polymagnets that repel at a distance and attract when pushed together make for novel magnetic latches for uses like cabinets and other places where latches are used. Different Polymagnet latches have different amounts of strength - for both repelling and attaching - to achieve the perfect "feel".
Positioning Devices
Tripods, cameras, scopes, laser pointers and optics are all position sensitive devices. Polymagnets that align and center offer repeatable, reliable positioning every time without the requirement of a feedback loop, active position control recalibration or maintenance.
Consumer Electronics
Polymagnets can attach peripherals to consumer electronics with strong attach forces and precision alignment while keeping stray fields from sensitive items like credit cards or a compass. Polymagnets are ideal for today's smaller, thinner, and lighter devices.
Magnetic Couplings
Polymagnet coupling devices can transfer torque across an air gap without physical contact, torque overload protection, the elimination of wear, a barrier to vibration, and more are all potential benefits.
Vehicle Attachment
Polymagnets work much better than conventional magnets on the metal of cars and trucks. They can be used to attach signs, racks for skis and bikes, and even truck tie-down attach systems.
Retail Fixtures
Polymagnets, with amazingly strong attach and shear forces, make ideal fasteners for retail fixtures that enables fast and easy reconfiguration of shelves, racks and displays.
Storm Shutter Attachment
With a twist of a magnet in each corner, Polymagnets enable fast and easy attach and release of hurricane or storm shutters and just about any covering for windows and doors.
Power Tool Attachment
Polymagnets can enable the ability to quick-swap attachments and fasteners on power tools. In addition, Polymagnets can be used to attach tools and fasteners to work belts, toolboxes, workbenches and more.
Organizational Systems
With their remarkable shear force to hold heavy items on walls, Polymagnets can enable organizational systems for tools, toys, and more in garage, pantry, kids room, office - just about anywhere.
