The State of the Magnetics Industry as of July 2026 The global magnetics industry continues to move through one of the most important periods in its modern history. As of July 2026, permanent magnets are no longer viewed as simple industrial components. They are now strategic materials tied directly to manufacturing stability, national security, clean...Read More

Introducing the New Radial Magnets Technical Resource Hub Specifying the right magnet is not always as simple as choosing a size and grade. Pull force, operating temperature, coating performance, material selection, air gaps, mounting conditions, and real-world application environments all play an important role in whether a magnet will perform reliably. That is why Radial...Read More

Introducing Three New Tools Built to Make Magnet Sourcing Easier At Radial Magnets, we know that finding the right magnet is not always as simple as choosing a size and placing an order. Material grade, coating, operating temperature, magnetization direction, pull force, surface field, tolerance, and application conditions all matter. That is why we are...Read More

The magnetics industry is entering one of the most important periods in its modern history. Permanent magnets, especially neodymium iron boron magnets, have moved from being a quiet industrial component to a strategic material at the center of global manufacturing, energy, defense, electronics, transportation, automation, and medical technology. For years, many buyers treated magnets as...Read More

President Trump’s recent visit to China brought rare earths and permanent magnets back to the center of U.S.–China trade negotiations. For the magnetics industry, the visit did not create a full breakthrough, but it did clarify one important reality: rare earth supply will remain a strategic, controlled, and politically sensitive market for the foreseeable future....Read More

The Current State of the Magnetics Industry: Pricing Pressure, Import Risk, and Supply Chain Uncertainty The magnetics industry is entering one of its most complicated periods in years. Demand for permanent magnets remains strong across electric motors, sensors, robotics, medical devices, aerospace, defense, electronics, and industrial automation. At the same time, buyers are dealing with...Read More

Procurement Strategy The Critical Component Your Inventory Strategy Cannot Ignore Magnets are embedded in motors, sensors, conveyors, and assembly lines across every major industry — yet procurement teams routinely underestimate them. The cost of that oversight is measured in downtime. Procurement professionals are trained to scrutinize high-value line items — steel, semiconductors, specialty resins — while smaller...Read More

Busting Common Misconceptions About Magnetics By Radial Magnets Magnetics is one of the most widely used yet misunderstood areas of modern engineering. From electric vehicles to smartphones, magnets are everywhere—but myths and misconceptions still shape how people think about them. Let’s break down some of the most common misunderstandings and replace them with clear, science-backed...Read More

What are the main types of magnets? The three broad types are permanent magnets, temporary magnets and electromagnets. Within permanent magnets, the major industrial material families are neodymium (NdFeB), ferrite/ceramic, Alnico and samarium cobalt (SmCo). Compare how each type works, where it is used and which material fits OEM applications.Read More
