Overview of Electromagnets
Electromagnets are a type of magnet that uses an electric current to produce its magnetic field. They are made with conductive materials, configured in varying shapes with a specified number of turns. When an electric current is turned on, it passes through the coiled wire and creates a magnetic field. When electricity is turned off, this circuit is interrupted and the magnetic field disappears.
Increasing the amount of electric current will increase the electromagnetic field strength. Varying the direction of the current will change the magnet’s polarity. Since they create a magnetic field temporarily, electromagnets are used in many applications that only require magnetic force for a short amount of time, such as in MRI machines, motors, and generators.
At Custom Coils, we’ve created custom electromagnets for applications throughout numerous industries, including medical imaging and scanning technology, semiconductor processing, and plasma ionization tools for dielectric etching. Electromagnetics are typically the critical components to its specific application. As such, the unique design specification, in large part, is the determining factor behind the application output and performance,
Custom Coils manufacturers specialty coils, coil assemblies, solenoids and a variety of electro-magnetic and inductive devices from limited runs to high volume production.
