Neodymium magnets are incredibly diverse and find applications across various industries. Here are the 6 most common areas where we see their usage.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRIs are medical imaging devices that interact with your body at the atomic level. The magnets influence the electrons in each atom of your body, capturing an image of the effect. The result varies depending on the type of tissue, providing valuable diagnostic images that the medical field heavily relies on.

Magnotherapy

Though the scientific community is still exploring this, many people swear by magnetic therapy. In magnotherapy, patients expose a part of their body to a magnetic field by wearing magnetic jewelry or using other items regularly, claiming pain relief, increased blood flow, and other benefits.

Audio Equipment

Speakers are controlled by two magnets and an electric current. A mobile electromagnetic coil is suspended near a fixed magnet, and an electric current passes through the coil rapidly. As the coil charges, it is attracted to and repelled from the magnet, creating vibrations that are amplified to produce music.

Lifting Heavy Loads

Magnets are utilized in various fields to lift objects, from picking up dropped metal pieces to moving cars or recovering submerged metal vehicles. Their lack of moving parts and exceptional lifting capacity make magnets a practical choice, but they only work on ferromagnetic items.

Levitation

Magnets are also used for levitation, making objects hover. This technology is being explored for applications like hoverboards, efficient vehicles, and moving industrial parts. Plans for hovering toys using small magnets can be easily found online.

Business Displays and Signage

Increasingly, businesses use magnets to hold signs in place and attract customers. In-store displays often require less surface preparation, and in buildings with metal walls or dividers, no preparation is needed. Magnets are also a solution for company vehicles, causing no damage to paint and requiring easy removal.
