Introduction Rare earth magnets are integral to a myriad of industrial and consumer products, thanks to their superior strength and versatility. However, gluing these powerful magnets to various surfaces presents unique challenges due to their chemical and physical properties. To address these challenges, Adams Magnetic Products has released a comprehensive white paper, “Gluing Rare Earth […]

Latch magnets are among the most versatile products we offer. As a replacement for standard latch hardware on a door, latch magnets have a cleaner look and can be installed in any number of ways depending on preferred use and appearance. Whether it’s a door lock or a doorstop, Adams has latch magnets that hold

What Makes Neodymium Magnets So Powerful? The Basics: What Is a Neodymium Magnet? Neodymium (Nd–Fe–B) magnets are the strongest type of commercially available permanent magnets, made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron (Nd₂Fe₁₄B). They were first developed in the early 1980s and quickly became the dominant choice for high-performance magnetic applications. Magnetic

We are often asked if we sell magnets that will erase hard drives. This is not one of our target applications, and most of our engineers report that they prefer a sledge hammer to a magnet when looking for external forces to disable the storage device. Magnets often distort more than erase the data. Here’s

Just what is a magnet sandwich at Adams? A ceramic magnet is “sandwiched” between two plated steel pole pieces to form a powerful latch magnet assembly held together by glue or rivets. The best part is that all four small, exposed magnet sides have magnetism. Our 1″ by 2″ model will hold up to 50

Adams’ FoilMAG is a shiny, silver, ferrous metal tape with transparent pressure-sensitive rubber-based adhesive. It is magnet receptive, matches up with 1/2 and 1″ wide magnet strip, and is only .010″ thick to maintain a low profile. FOILMAG works great in interchangeable graphics, menu boards, point of purchase displays, package closures, crafts, and more. It

A.R.E. is a non-profit trade association advancing the retail environments industry and its member companies including store fixture suppliers, retail design firms, suppliers of visual merchandising products, suppliers of materials and equipment for the industry (like Adams), and service providers such as
You’ve asked, so we’re answering: Magnetic domains locked in, result in the ability of a permanent magnet to support an external magnetic field. Once established these domain positions are held until acted upon by forces exceeding those of the locked domains. The energy required to change the magnetic field produced by a magnet varies for

Adams sells most of its standard energy flexible magnetic material magnetized in multi-pole configuration. It is magnetized with its strength concentrated near the surface on one side of the magnet in order to obtain maximum holding power from the material. This design reduces the reach out of magnet strength but still allows the magnet to
