Alignment Magnets
Magnets that align themselves
Traditional magnets do not necessarily align when attaching to each other. Smart-Mag® pairs can be designed to align with varying levels of precision and with a wide variety of alignment functions. Alignment magnet pairs are made from encoded permanent magnet material and will consistently and repeatedly perform every time without recalibration or maintenance. Smart-Mags™ that align and center offer repeatable, reliable positioning every time. This has application for cameras, scopes, laser pointers, optics and all position sensitive devices. The Detent Pairs listed below have a points in their axial alignment where they resist rotation at a prescribed angle and also have an optimum attract force at this point. When rotated passed this point they rotate easier and also have a reduced/relaxed attract force.

Centering Function Smart-Mags®
Centering pairs feature a distinct type of Alignment magnets that are produced in matching sets and will align with varying levels of precision and from variable gap distances. Encoded multipole Centering magnet will produce forces to achieve axial center alignment that vary with separation distance. The behavior is offered at several gap distances, with greater attachment strength at a short distance, and greater off-center forgiveness at a longer distance.
