In the news this week: Origami-inspired reprogrammable microactuator system — another sign that magnets are quietly getting smarter.
A Spring-Latch Polymagnet holds firmly, then soft-closes — no moving pieces, no assembly.
Every mechanical designer knows the drill: to make two parts align, hold, and release cleanly, you stack up a spring, a detent, a latch, and an alignment feature. More parts, more tolerance stack, more cost.
Want to feel it? A demo kit puts the behavior in your hand — align, latch, spring, and twist-release, all from one part.
The catalogue is sorted by what the magnet has to do — hold, align, latch, turn, resist a sideways pull — because that is what you know when you start looking. If nothing there fits, describe the job and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
