Small Magnets
Description: We supply
a wide range of magnets that are used for a great variety
of applications. The three main materials are: alnico,
ferrite (ceramic strontium ferrite) and rare earth (neodymium
iron boron). We stock many items, and can usually guarantee
next day delivery if we receive orders by 11:30am. However
due to processing costs, we have a minimum order of
£50.00.
Please note that we only supply to industry.
Alnico Magnets
These are
cast magnets manufactured from aluminium, nickel and cobalt.
They possess excellent corrosion and heat resistant qualities
up to 500°C.
Typical
applications include:
|
 |
"Pot" magnets for holding
and clamping |
|
Lifting |
|
Proximity switches |
|
High temperature fixtures |
Ferrite Magnets
Ceramic ferrite is manufactured
from strontium ferrite, usually die pressed and sintered.
Due to good machining properties, we can cut and magnetise
them to virtually any size or shape required. Due to their
high coercivity and low cost, they are used in a wide
range of applications. We also stock a wide range of blocks,
rings and discs. Stable up to a maximum temperature of
120°C.
Rare Earth Magnets
Manufactured from sintered neodymium
iron boron. They possess the most powerful magnetic
properties in relation to volume and can lift up to
1000 times their own weight. However they do not possess
strong heat resistant qualities usually remaining stable
up to 80°C although SH grades of the compound are
available which are stable up to 200°C. For higher
temperature applications, rare earth samarium cobalt
is recommended. Also due to their corrosive nature,
neodymium is usually supplied coated.
We can also manufacture small
block magnets to customer requirements.
