Medical Magnet Spotlight: Magnets and Cochlear Implants
Magnets feature in a wide range of medical applications including heart pumps, surgical tools, hearing aids, and cochlear implants. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted neuroprosthesis that provides a person who has moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss with sound perception. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sounds, cochlear implants bypass damaged areas of the ear and…

Read MoreMagnet Comparison: Neodymium and Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets
Neodymium Iron Boron NdFeB (i.e. Neodymium) and Samarium Cobalt SmCo are both ultra-strong rare-earth permanent magnets. Both are brittle in nature and subject to catastrophic damage if subject to severe impact (i.e. dropping). However, that is where the similarity ends and, when selecting a magnet material for a specific application, our design engineers assess each…
Read MoreSensor Magnets
Sensors are used everywhere from vehicle engine management systems to Smartphones determining if the flip cover accessory is closed. Modern everyday life would be very different without sensors and the operation of many of these sensors rely on magnetism. As products evolve, so have the range and specification of sensor magnets. A magnetic sensor converts…
