Consumer electronics and mobile accessoriesPhones, tablets, 2-in-1 keyboards, peripherals and cords that need small magnets with strong, aligned, electronics-safe holds.
WearablesBands, cases and clip-on devices that need quick connect, quick release and self-alignment in a small, light package.
IoT devices, cameras and sensorsWeb cams, sensors and detectors mounted on walls and ceilings that need to move, update or re-aim without tools.
Magnetic sensing and controlsHall-effect position sensing, rotary controls and dials where the magnet pattern is part of the sensor design.
Aerospace and spaceRelease mechanisms and fluid couplers where reliability, fewer parts and extreme temperatures matter.
Positioning devices and opticsTripods, cameras, scopes, laser pointers and optics that need the same position every time without recalibration.
Magnetic couplings and torque transferTransmitting torque across an air gap or sealed wall without contact.
Vehicle attachmentSigns, ski and bike racks and tie-down points attached to the sheet metal of cars and trucks.
Retail fixtures and displaysShelves, racks and displays that store teams can reconfigure without tools.
Home and building productsCabinet and drawer latches, storm shutters and wall hanging systems for homes and buildings.
Power tools and organization systemsQuick-swap tool attachments and wall systems that hold heavy items in garages, workshops and homes.
Areas we left out
These come up often in magnet discussions, but polymagnet.com does not claim them as application areas, so we have not written pages for them.
- Medical devices. Not claimed as an application area on polymagnet.com public pages as of 4 October 2026, so we did not build a page.
- Defense. No defense application is claimed on polymagnet.com. The KB's defense notes concern rare-earth supply rules, not Polymagnet uses.
- Packaging. Not claimed on polymagnet.com.
- Robotics and industrial automation. Not claimed as an application area on polymagnet.com. Couplings and positioning pages cover the nearest claimed uses.
- Automotive (in-vehicle components). polymagnet.com claims vehicle attachment (racks, signs, tie-downs), not automotive components; the page is scoped to that.
