A system and method use a magnetic cancellation loop to control magnetic wheel adhesion. The wheel has an inner annular disc composed of a non-magnetic material with apertures to retain ferromagnetic structures and magnets, and an outer annular discs composed of a ferromagnetic material and are disposed on either side of the inner annular disc. Each outer annular disc has a non-magnetic isolator ring having curves extending in a serpentine manner. In a first configuration, the curves isolate the ferromagnetic structures from the magnets, thereby generating a first magnetic flux to increase the adhesion of the wheel to the ferromagnetic surface. In a second configuration, at least one outer annular disc is rotated to dispose the curves to allow magnetic interaction between the ferromagnetic structures and magnets, thereby generating a second magnetic to decrease the adhesion of the wheel to the ferromagnetic surface. The method implements the system.
