Magnet Blog: Is Bigger Better?
Yes, When It’s MegaMAG™! These days consumers are bombarded with messages, so sometimes it takes a little extra effort to stand out from the crowd. That’s why Adams introduced MegaMAG, our wide format magnet that measures up to a full 60” across. Sure, there have been graphic displays this big before, but MegaMAG™ eliminates the […]
Magnet Blog: Gluing Rare Earth Magnets: A Sticky Situation
If you search the Internet for advice on how to glue rare earth magnets, you’ll find as many questions as you will answers. From message boards on hobby sites to industrial manufacturing FAQs, there seems to be no consensus on the most effective way to glue a neodymium magnet, or on how to do so […]
Magnet Blog: Loving the Latch Magnet
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 […]
Magnet Blog: What is a Strong Magnet?
Manufacturers and consumers researching specific magnet types may come across the term “strong magnet” in their search. At first, this sounds like an attribute that should be necessary for any magnet – who would buy something called a “weak magnet”? Alnico magnets are strong enough for several industrial applications, while ceramic magnets offer versatility and […]
Magnet Blog: Can You Really Erase Your Hard Drive With A Magnet
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 […]
Magnet Blog: Adams Serves Up A Strong Magnet Sandwich
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 […]

Top Causes of Permanent Magnet Demagnetization & Strength Loss
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 […]
