Choose Your Function

Infinite Positioning

Holds in any position

Aka “free-stop motion.” Available in one-way, differential and two-way.

Counterbalance

Lift-assist

Aka “lift-assist motion.” Available with adjustable lifting force. Spring technology provides long life.

Damping

Soft-close motion

Aka “viscous damping.” One-way and symmetric viscous dampers with rotary and linear components.

Detent

Soft-hold at specific intervals

Available in variety of holding intervals

Position Locking

Incremental and infinite

Positive locking provides rigid position when locked in both rotary and linear versions.

Latching

Mechanical and magnetic

Available in mechanical and magnetic

Align

Align with better precision

Use these Polymagnets for a wide variety of alignment functions

Attachment

Attach with adjustable holding force

Aka, “Tunable Attachment.” Decide what force you want to attach with.

Latching

Repel at range with a near field attach

Aka, “Mag-latch.” Virtually latch your design with extremely long life and precision feel.

Spring

Hold position at specific gap

Aka, “Hover Field.” They attract from distance and repel up-close to stabilize at a set gap.

Torque & Detent

Torque transfer and detent positioning

Polymagnets are available from 4-24 discrete positions with varying holding forces, and provides excellent torque transfer.

Conventional

Traditional magnet solutions

Traditional Neodymium magnetic solutions with extremely long life.
