NdFeB grades up to N52 delivering high clamping force in volume-constrained production lines.
SmCo and AlNiCo options rated for continuous operational exposure from 150°C up to 500°C.
Triple Ni-Cu-Ni, structural black epoxy, zinc, and encapsulated rubber coatings for harsh environments.
Large volume lot tracking, certificate of conformance (CoC), and custom fabrication capabilities.
Selecting the appropriate magnet for industrial machinery, robotic end-effectors, workholding jigs, or separation equipment requires balancing magnetic flux density, working temperature, demagnetization resistance (coercivity), and chemical exposure. Permanent magnets used in industrial environments fall into four primary metallurgical families:
| Magnet Material | Energy Product (BHmax) | Max Operating Temp (Tmax) | Corrosion Resistance | Optimal Industrial Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neodymium (NdFeB) | 33 – 55 MGOe | 80°C (Std) / 200°C (AH) | Poor; requires plating (Ni-Cu-Ni / Epoxy) | Maximum holding force in compact automation, sensors, and lifting equipment. |
| Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) | 16 – 32 MGOe | 250°C – 350°C | Excellent; naturally rust-proof | High-heat oilfield tooling, aerospace actuators, and marine pumps. |
| Ceramic / Ferrite | 1.0 – 4.3 MGOe | 250°C (482°F) | Excellent; inert oxide ceramic | Economical separation chutes, conveyor drives, and outdoor fixtures. |
| AlNiCo (Cast/Sintered) | 5.0 – 10.0 MGOe | 500°C – 550°C | Excellent; corrosion resistant | Extreme-temperature furnaces, heat-treating fixtures, and avionics. |
Industrial magnets feature certified metallurgical compositions, strict magnetic characterization (verified Remanence Br and Coercivity Hci), tight dimensional tolerances (±0.05 mm), and specialized environmental plating (epoxy, PTFE, rubber, or multi-layer nickel) designed to perform predictably under continuous mechanical and thermal stresses.
Choose Neodymium (NdFeB) when maximum holding power and compact footprint are required at operating temperatures below 80°C–150°C. Choose Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) when continuous operating temperatures exceed 150°C (up to 350°C) or when components operate in corrosive chemical or marine environments without protective plating.
Raw rare-earth magnets are brittle ceramics that can chip under repeated direct impacts. Pot and cup magnets enclose the magnet in a steel cup, shielding the brittle edges from impact damage while channeling both poles forward to significantly multiply contact holding force on steel surfaces.
Yes. We support OEM production lines and tier-1 suppliers with volume price tiering, lot-specific quality assurance testing (flux density and physical dimensions), and standard Certificate of Conformance documentation upon request.
