A customer’s recent four magnet sample request (similar shape/size in Neodymium, Samarium Cobalt, Alnico, and Ceramic Ferrite) illustrates some of the challenges associated with selecting the proper magnet material. Instead of simply fulfilling this request, we took the time to discuss project specifics and learned that our customer was interested in reducing the cost and…
A Neodymium magnet may be used to supply a triggering field for a magnetic sensor. At various times of operation, the magnet may be exposed to a temperature which reduces the magnetic field to a level which the sensor will not be triggered. Other than during the high temperature exposure, the magnet will supply a sufficient field to trigger the sensor. The magnet does not totally demagnetize nor does it suffer lasting effects from the high temperature exposure…
If you are confused by the available grades of Neodymium or curious about how a grade is assigned to a particular Neodymium alloy, this post is for you.
Our engineering staff frequently fields questions from clients asking about magnetization options for Neodymium Iron Boron, Samarium Cobalt, and Ceramic Block, Ring, Disc, and Arc Magnets. Typical questions include: Can a disc magnet be magnetized diametrically? What is the difference between a true radially magnetized ring and a radially approximated magnetic ring? Can an arc segment be…
