Automation Magnets & Electromagnets

Due to their tremendously high energy level, rare earth magnets are ideal for miniature applications. Popular applications include wind generation, electric motors, packaging, scientific experiments, design and display.

Cup & Hook Magnets are low profile magnets that are ideal for holding steel doors, hanging signs and lights, mounting antennas, retrieving steel items from tanks, vats, bins and lakes, holding traps in place and many other industrial uses.

Cylindrical Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Reid Supply offers disc and cylindrical magnets primarily in Neodymium, Alnico and Ceramic models. Neodymium magnets are powerful, yet compact. Alnico magnets are ideal for high heat applications and cermanic magnets are generally the most economical. Applications are abundant: fixtures, jigs, panel mounts, end of retrieving tools, catches/latches, linear actuators, sensing, gyroscopes, flow meters, pacemakers, etc.

These plates are grooved to be able to hold round parts as well. The plates are also notched for holding parts above base of vise. Smooth on back side. They are accurately machined, hardened and ground. Constructed of plates or channels with magnets sandwiched in between. Ideal for holding heavy parts. Effective holding against shear force.

Rectabngular Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Rotor magnets are an essential part on the electromagnetic and electromechanical applications that drive much of the industrial manufacturing. These magnets are made of Alinico and are offered in 4 and 6 poles.

Magnetic Welding Squares are ideal for welders that need fast set-up and accurate holding of steel sheet stock, plate, and tubing. Welding Squares are equipped with through holes for easy mounting.
