Ferromagnetism
The working principle of the device is based on (Ferro)magnetism.
Ferromagnetism is the effect which certain materials, such as iron cobalt and nickel, will have when
exposed to an externally applied magnetic field.
Materials that remain magnetised when the external magnetic field is removed, are called permanent
magnets. Most magnetic materials lose their magnetism when the external magnetic field is removed.
Most alloys of iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic.
However, some stainless steel alloys like AISI304 or AISI316 are only slightly magnetic.
Because in most cases it will be Fe parts that will be Ferro-magnetically influenced, we will use the term
‘Fe’ in this user manual when we mean Ferromagnetic material.
