Industrial Magnets and Magnetic Products
Industrial magnets encompass a broad range of permanent and switchable magnetic products used for workholding, material handling, retrieval, organisation, and equipment in workshops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance operations. AIMS Industrial stocks Magswitch switchable permanent magnets, MSA Magnetics products, and magnetic tooling for Australian industry — covering the range of magnet applications encountered in engineering, fabrication, and maintenance environments.
Magswitch Switchable Magnets
Magswitch switchable permanent magnets provide the clamping force of a permanent magnet with on-off control via a simple rotary mechanism that requires no electrical power. When switched on, the magnet holds at its full rated force without power consumption or heat. Switching off releases the workpiece completely, with no residual field to impede clean separation. Magswitch products cover a range of applications from welding and fabrication positioning through to lifting and handling, with models rated for different holding forces to match the application. The combination of strong holding force, clean release, and no power requirement makes Magswitch the practical choice for production fabrication and handling tasks where the limitations of both permanent magnets and electromagnets are a problem.
MSA Magnetics
MSA Magnetics supplies a range of permanent magnet products including pot magnets, magnetic assemblies, strip magnets, and custom magnetic components for industrial and commercial applications. Pot magnets use a steel housing to concentrate and direct the magnetic field through a single face, significantly increasing the holding force of the enclosed magnet compared to an exposed magnet of the same material and grade. They are used for mounting, fixturing, holding panels, and attaching components to steel surfaces. Strip magnets suit door seals, light-duty holding applications, and labelling and signage on steel surfaces. For custom or non-standard magnet requirements, MSA can supply magnets in specific shapes, grades, and configurations.
Magnetic Retrieval Tools
Telescoping magnetic retrieval tools — magnetic pick-up wands and flexible magnetic probes — collect dropped fasteners, tools, and metal components from locations that are difficult to reach by hand. Extending magnetic pick-up tools are a standard item in maintenance toolkits and workshop tool sets, used daily to retrieve fasteners dropped into engine bays, between machine components, and into floor grating. Cup magnets on flexible cables reach further into confined spaces where a rigid rod cannot negotiate the path to the dropped item.
Magnetic Storage and Organisation
Magnetic holders and strips are used in workshops to store tools, cutting inserts, and small components on steel surfaces without drilling, screwing, or clamping. Knife-bar style magnetic strips hold chisels, scrapers, and tooling on a workshop wall within easy reach. Insert trays and blade holders with magnetic bases keep cutting inserts and drill bits organised at the machine without containers that tip or slide.
