Industrial Magnets Don't Go On Your Fridge

Magnets are widely used in industry. The most familiar use is probably in lifting mechanisms. Large industrial magnets are often attached to cranes in order to move heavy iron beams and girders easily. They can also be used in recycling centers and scrap yards. My husband and I used to take scrap iron to the junk yard for his grandfather. We loaded it into his truck by hand, but they removed it from the truck bed with a huge magnet attached to a crane. They just weighed the truck before and after removal, wrote him a check and we were out of there in no time.

Electromagnets convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The opposite is true in generators. The magnets in generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Magnetic sweepers are used in airports, on docks, and construction sites to remove metal debris. In the food and pharmaceutical industry magnets remove iron particles that made have inadvertently gotten into food or drug supplies. Maglev trains used in Japan actually use magnets to levitate over the tracks greatly reducing friction. The magnets in the rails and underneath the trains repel each other allowing the train to “float.” These trains can reach speeds of 480km/hr.

Magnets may be used in conveyors, chutes and pulleys in factories and to separate metal from ore in the mining industry. Salvage operations use magnets to remove large items from the ocean floor. They are useful in lifting and stacking large loads in the shipping industry and separating ferrous compounds from non ferrous ones.

Electronic goods such as televisions, radios and computers also make use of magnets. They are present in clocks, microphones, compasses, and amplifiers. There are very few things in your household that do not incorporate magnets in some way. From the magnetic strips on your credit cards to the seal on the refrigerator door, magnets are a big part of our everyday life.

Welding shops, auto repair shops, metal fabrication shops and the ship building industry make use of magnetic tools to move heavy objects around and hold items for assembly much easier. It’s like having an extra pair of hands. I love the electric screwdrivers and drills that have a magnetic tip. I will never have to chase a dropped screw around the floor again. Industrial magnets help in nearly every area of manufacturing.
