Method for Applying Magnets

Abstract

A method for applying at least one magnet, a holding device for such a method, and an arrangement comprising a number of holding devices. The method is used for applying at least one magnet to a surface of a part made of a magnetic material. The at least one magnet is moved towards the surface of the part while being retained in the holding device using a retaining force, and a force of attraction that acts against the retaining force is substantially directed towards the part and is applied to the at least one magnet such that the magnet is transferred to the surface of the part as soon as the magnet has been moved towards the surface of the part so as to be at a certain distance therefrom at which the force of attraction exceeds the retaining force.
