Multipurpose magnets, often referred to as curved surface magnets, feature magnet "legs" that form a concave or convex base. This design allows them to conform closely to the shape of curved machine surfaces. These magnets are particularly well-suited for use on non-flat surfaces, such as curved shafts or motor housings. By ensuring a secure and stable connection between the magnet and the machine, they help enhance the precision of vibration measurements by minimizing the chances of sensor movement or slippage.
To be fully prepared for various machines, we recommend analysts carry both flat and curved surface magnets in their toolkit.
