Magnetic sweepers are commonly used in the industry to clean up metal debris from floors of warehouses and workplaces, also they are used to clean floors at homes by inducing an electrostatic field which pulls dust to the surface of the sweeper.

What is Magbetometer?

A magnetometer is a device that measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field. It is commonly used in geophysical surveys to map the Earth's magnetic field and in industries like mining to detect magnetic anomalies. Magnetometers are also used in devices such as smartphones for compass navigation.


What does symbol B mean in physics?

In physics, symbol B is often used to represent magnetic field. Magnetic fields are vector quantities that exert a force on moving electric charges and magnetic materials. This symbol is commonly used in equations involving electromagnetic phenomena.


What is a sensitive device used to detect magnetic fields on the seafloor?

A magnetometer is a sensitive device used to detect magnetic fields on the seafloor. It measures the strength and direction of magnetic fields, which can provide valuable information about the geological structure of the seafloor and help in identifying magnetic anomalies caused by different rock types or mineral deposits.


What types of components can you separate by magnetic separation?

Magnetic separation can be used to separate components that are attracted to a magnet from those that are not. For example, separating iron from a mixture of iron and sulfur or separating magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials.

What are the main uses of magnetic sweepers?

Magnetic sweepers are often used to pick up small objects which are metal, potentially hazzardous, and are hard to reach or hard to clean up. Examples would be a box of nails spilling behind a large object. In this instance, a magnetic sweeper would allow the user to pick up all nails, without having to move the large object. Magnetic sweepers are used primarily for construction clean up. They can be used at a construction site to pick up stray nails, screws, bolts and metal filings. They are especially popular with roofing companies. They are also used to clean metal from parking lots and sometimes used by road construction crews.

Who invented magnetic sweepers?

The first magnetic sweeper was invented by W.D. Shields, a Lehigh University trained physicist, during the 1950"s in PIttsburgh, PA. Mr. Shields worked for Dings Magnetic Corporation during the 1950's developing magnetic relay switches and running the sales organization. Mr. Shields left Dings and subsequently founded the Shields Magnetics Company in the early 1960's at which time he designed and created the first magnetic sweeper. The original magnetic sweepers were designed by Shields and sold to the major U.S. trucking companies for use in eliminating damaging metal trash from loading docks, terminals and ramp areas. Over the next decade as popularity for the sweepers grew, so did the marketplace. Magnetic Sweepers became popular in various industries such as aviation, distribution, material handling and construction. During his lifetime, Mr. Shields registered many patents and held design patents on many variations of the magnetic sweeper. Mr. Shields passed away in the 1990's however Shields Magnetic Corporation remains the largest manufacturer and distributor of magnetic sweepers in the world
