Magnetic Chuck

Magnetic chucks are used in conjunction with a chuck key to holding the workpiece securely. This can be done with a hand-held magnetic chuck which uses a handheld magnet to attract and hold the workpiece, or by using an electromagnetic chuck which uses an electromagnet to attract and hold the workpiece. A magnetic chuck is also called a quick-release magnet, as it can quickly remove or attach pieces of metal.

Alnico Magnets are widely used in the magnetic chuck to control holding and releasing the workpiece.

Motor Magnet

Motor magnets are used in electric motors to provide a magnetic field that rotates with the shaft. The motor winds build up a magnetic field on the inside of the motor’s magnetic path, thus creating a rotating field on the outside of the conductor.
