Magnets are everywhere and are used for thousands of applications!

The following applications have already been submitted...

Retrieving parts from acid baths, oil tanks & plating vats. Magnets can retrieve parts at temperatures of upto 500 degrees! Power magnets are especially good for this when fitted on a long pole.(MAG811)

For holding parts on powder coating jigs. Many parts simply don't have a convenient hole to hook them onto whilst they are painted and baked in an oven. Shallow magnets are especially good for this (MAG827)

For activating reed switches and proximity switches. Every exercise bike has a magnet on the flywheel and a sensor to 'count' the revolutions to give a speed and distance reading. Burglar alarms have magnets in their door contacts. Bar magnets are especially good for this - (MAG805)

To check whether materials are ferrous or non ferrous - especially important for checking materials for recycling such as drinks cans. Pocket horse shoe magnets are ideal for this (MAG802)

Retrieving nuts and bolts that have rolled off into the corner of an appliance and are out of reach. The MAG567 is especially designed for this application

For holding parts during Electro discharge machining operations to save the cut part falling and trapping the wire as it breaks though it's final cut. Small neodymium magnets are ideal for this (MAG652)

Pot magnets are sunken into jigs and fixtures to provide a magnetic datum and to stop parts moving out of position during machining, marking and assembly operations.
