Demagnetizing devices
Magnets and magnetic devices have been an integral part of industry and trade for years. However, when used, undesirable side effects such as the magnetization of workpieces and devices can occur. To avoid complications during further processing, devices are used to demagnetize tools and small parts.
Demagnetizing devices remove annoying residual magnetism and ensure that workpieces can be processed without interruption. Depending on the variant, individual parts can be demagnetized by hand or larger quantities can be placed on a plate demagnetizer.
No matter which variant you use, our devices for demagnetizing steel and small parts guarantee a quick and uncomplicated process.

Why is it important to demagnetize steel?
Demagnetizing steel is an important process in metalworking and engineering. Steel is naturally susceptible to magnetization, which can be caused by mechanical influences, processing steps or external magnetic fields, among other things.
Magnetized steel parts can cause problems in engineering because they attract and adhere to metal shavings, dust or other ferromagnetic particles. In industrial applications, such as the production of precision parts, the magnetization and demagnetization of steel can determine whether components function smoothly.
How do demagnetization devices remove residual magnetism?
In many applications, a desired magnetism arises in tools and small parts because iron or steel become magnetized when exposed to a magnetic field. This is due to the molecular magnets contained in the ferromagnetic materials. These are normally randomly oriented, but align in the same direction under the influence of an external magnetic field. This preferred direction is retained even after the external magnetic field has been removed and the workpiece is partially magnetized. This can happen, for example, when machining parts on magnetic chucks.
In such cases, devices for demagnetization are used. These create an alternating decreasing magnetic field. Basically, the workpiece is demagnetized in this way until the permanent magnetic field is zero. After this procedure, the part no longer has any residual magnetism and can be further processed. This ensures that there are no undesirable disruptions in the further production process due to residual magnetism in the workpiece.
