2. Electropermanent magnet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropermanent_magnet

   Electropermanent magnets made with powerful rare-earth magnets are used as industrial lifting (tractive) magnets to lift heavy ferrous metal objects; when the object reaches its destination the magnet can be switched off, releasing the object. Programmable magnets are also being researched as a means of creating self-building structures. [2] [3]

3. Pole piece - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_piece

   A magnet keeper is a specialised pole piece used to temporarily connect the poles of a permanent magnet, to help to preserve the magnetism, and for safety in the case of large and powerful magnets. Another specialised pole piece is the armature of an electromechanical solenoid , which produces work by being attracted by an electromagnet when ...

4. Magnetic switchable device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_switchable_device

   A magnetic switchable device (often called a magnetic base) is a magnetic fixture that uses one or more permanent magnets in a configuration that allows the external field to be turned on or off. They are used in many applications including optics, metalworking, lifting, and robotics, to attach items to metal surfaces in a secure but temporary way.

5. Neodymium magnet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet

   These cranes lift ferrous materials like steel plates, pipes, and scrap metal using the persistent magnetic field of the permanent magnets without requiring a continuous power supply. [43] Magnetic cranes are used in scrap yards, shipyards , warehouses , and manufacturing plants .

6. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

   Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces. [2]

7. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

   Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) is a form of magnetic levitation in which there are conductors which are exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. This induces eddy currents in the conductors that creates a repulsive magnetic field which holds the two objects apart. These time-varying magnetic fields can be caused by relative motion between two ...
