Damping vibrations is crucial for precision experiments, for example in astronomy. A new invention uses a special kind of magnets to achieve this -- electropermanent magnets. They consist of a ...

Soph Inc., part of a German company that also has an operation in China, has started U.S. manufacturing in Fenton of the company's Magbo magnetic mold clamping system for making quick mold changes.

designed to be nearly a drop-in replacement of the old EPM v3. Just like its predecessor, the EPM 4 is a solid-state, zero-maintenance electropermanent magnet with no moving parts in its construction.

Ara Nerses Knaian: "An electropermanent magnet is a solid-state device whose external magnetic field can be modulated by an electrical pulse. No electrical power is required to maintain the field, ...

Magnos magnetic workholding systems allow clamping of different workpieces without changing set up. Magnos magnetic workholding from Schunk (www.schunkusa.com) uses electro-permanent magnets to clamp ...

Its electropermanent magnets activate in seconds. In the event of a power outage, the grippers continue to hold because electricity is only needed to activate and deactivate the magnets. The gripper ...

When everything shakes, precision is usually impossible – everybody who has ever tried to take a photo with shaky hands or make handwritten notes on a bumpy bus journey knows that. With technical ...
