Block Magnets
Block magnets are versatile and available in rectangular, square, or cube shapes. Each block has six sides, with all joined elevations forming right angles. These magnets are commonly housed in custom-made channels to fasten or hold components together. Their ability to provide magnetic engagement as a permanent fastening mechanism is valuable in situations where components need to be removed and reattached for maintenance or cleaning. The use of magnetic fasteners offers several advantages, such as preserving the clean and uniform appearance of an object and preventing material damage by disengaging at a set pressure, which can protect against the cracking or breaking that might occur with traditional fasteners like screws or adhesives.
In addition to fastening applications, block magnets are integral to water treatment devices. They help attract, arrest, and capture contaminants like heavy metals, mineral salts, and scale, such as boiler rust. These large block magnets, often housed in clamps, can project their magnetic force through plastic pipes to neutralize or break down contaminants, effectively turning hard water into soft water.
Magnets Australia offers a wide selection of block magnets in Neodymium, Ceramic, Alnico, and Samarium magnets, suitable for various industrial and household applications.
