magnetic couplings

If you have played with magnets before, then you already intuitively understand how magnetic couplings function. Magnetic couplings are a unique connection which uses the power of magnets to transfer motion without touching. It might sound like some futuristic tech, but it’s pretty commonly employed in all sorts of everyday items and machines.

The physics of magnetic couplings are actually very simple. A magnet has two poles – a north pole and a south pole. Like poles repel and unlike attract. If you put two magnets close to each other, they will generate a magnetic field that can carry motion from one body to another without ever having to physically touch. It’s the idea behind how magnetic couplings function in engineering.

Advantages of using magnetic couplings in engineering

There are many advantages in the use of magnetic couplings in engineering. One of the key advantages is that they don’t require mechanical seals, which can become worn and leak as time wears on. This is to have longer lasting and more reliable magnetic couplings. Moreover, as the two connected items are not in contact with each other, there is also less friction and wear, which makes operation smoother and maintenance easier.
