Magnetic Applications Package Closure Magnets Design Considerations In addition to your physical and design aesthetic requirements, we'll want to know the closure retention force in order to determine whether two magnets or one magnet with a steel disc or strike plate should be used. Air Gap (the space between the magnets or steel receptive piece) [...]
Hall Effect Sensor Magnets Let MPCO help choose the magnet to best suit your specific sensor application requirements. We have experience designing around the effect of environmental conditions, temperature, shock, vibration, corrosion resistance, magnetic stability, manufacturability, form factor (and more!) related to the use of magnets with sensors and can help optimize the performance of [...]
Ceramic vs Alnico Pickup Magnets CERAMICS VS ALNICO Pickup | MAGNETS The two types of magnet used in the construction of magnetic pickups for electric guitars are: Alnico magnets (alnico 5, alnico 2, etc.) Ceramic magnets (C5, C8, etc.) Alnico (an alloy of aluminium, nickel, iron and cobalt) pickups are generally associated with a sweeter [...]
Alnico vs Ceramic Magnets – How Do They Affect Guitar Pickup Tone? Taking a close look at the differences between alnico and ceramic magnets and their effect on tone. When choosing a new pickup for your guitar, consider the magnet, one of the essential, yet complicating elements involved in the sound creation process. We’ll try [...]
Use Rare Earth Magnets Outdoors Lanthanide components are ferromagnetic metals. This implies that they the ability to be charged much the same as iron. Be that as it may, their curie temperatures (the temperature at which they lose their attraction) are normally underneath the typical room temperature. This illustrates why rare magnets are not suitable [...]
Handling Neodymium Magnets Safety Precaution With high intrinsic coercive force (Hci) over 12,000 Oe and maximum energy product ((BH)max) between 27-52 MGOe, neodymium magnets have the greatest strength among all available permanent magnet materials (>7 times stronger than ceramic magnets) as they are extremely resistant to demagnetization and have high saturation of magnetization. The magnetization [...]
Breakthrough in Sustainable Permanent Magnet! As we all know, most permanent magnets are made of rare-earth metal alloys, but the mining and processing of these materials can produce toxic by-products, leading to ecological damage around rare earth mines and refineries. Now, a group of scientists led by the University of Leeds has made breakthrough progress [...]
How to Select NdFeB Powerful Magnets With the development of science and technology, Nd-Fe-B magnets are more and more widely used in the industry, such as high-speed aircraft, energy vehicles, electronic digital and so on. The increasing demand for magnet manufacturers is also increasing, which makes the market of magnets become a mess, fish eye [...]
Select Material Grades for Neodymium Magnets When you are trying to figure out which neodymium magnets to select for your design needs, you would always see the term “grade” or “N rating” from any supplier or manufacturer. Besides a few other criteria, desired material grade must be defined for a neodymium magnet. So, what does [...]
Select Magnet Materials from MPCO Magnets ( Neodymium, NdFeB Magnets, SmCo, Alnico, Ceramic Magnets and others ) When choosing a magnet material to be incorporated into your specific application, their properties need to be identified and compared to correctly evaluate their functional workability and economic feasibility. Design engineers should consider the magnetic requirement, physical requirement, [...]
Recycling Neodymium Magnets Industrial neodymium magnets have become a critical part of our daily life and an important contributor to many advanced technology development. Majority of this rare-earth element is mined in China from monazite ((Nd, La, Ce)PO4) and bastnaesite (Ca(Ce, La, Nd)2(CO3)3 F2) ores; however, the mining and extraction processes can be expansive, complex [...]
Various shapes Magnets Magnetization Orientation Neodymium, ceramic, samarium cobalt magnets can be custom-made in various shapes, sizes and magnetization orientations or directions. In this article, we list out and illustrate some of the available options for magnetization orientation which is defined during pressing process and prior to magnetization. Of course, engineers can always request otherwise [...]
