What metals are not magnetic? Aluminum, copper, brass, gold, silver, lead and titanium do not strongly stick to ordinary magnets. Learn why aluminum is only weakly paramagnetic, why copper and precious metals are diamagnetic, how 304/316 stainless steel behaves, and why non-magnetic target materials matter in real magnetic assemblies.Read More

What is gauss? Gauss (G) measures magnetic flux density at a specific point. 1 gauss = 0.0001 tesla = 0.1 millitesla, and 10,000 gauss = 1 tesla. Learn surface gauss, gaussmeter measurement, field at distance, and why gauss is not the same as pull force or magnet grade.Read More

Sensor magnets for Hall-effect, TMR, AMR and rotary position sensing should be selected by magnetic field at the sensor location, air gap, polarity, magnetization direction, temperature and tolerance—not pull force alone. Compare stock sensor magnets, field-at-distance tools and custom OEM options.Read More

How do maglev trains work? Learn how magnetic levitation, guidance and linear-motor propulsion work, compare EMS vs. EDS systems, and see where electromagnets, superconducting magnets and Halbach arrays fit.Read More

The Use of Magnets in Modern Automobiles: Driving Efficiency and Innovation Magnets have become an indispensable component in modern automobiles, underpinning a range of critical systems that enhance vehicle performance, safety, and energy efficiency.
