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) [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Purchasing Lifting Magnets Warranty There are lots of choices of permanent lifting magnets available in the market with different designs, materials of construction and product warranties. MPCO is the only company that offers Limited Lifetime Warranty on every PLM series permanent lifting magnets. So why is it so important for procurements managers to take this [...]
Lifting Magnets Operational Safety MPCO always present in the steel manufacturing working environment and as a lifting magnets supplier, we cannot emphasis more on the equipment’s operational safety. For each magnetic lifter, not only do we ensure the design/fabrication meet and exceed the requirements stated in ASME B30.20., we also either phone or request the [...]
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 [...]
Samarium Cobalt Magnets Safety Factor Rare earth Samarium Cobalt magnets are made in sintering process and are often selected as magnet materials in many applications due to its powerful magnetic force and outstanding resistance to corrosion and demagnetization. Although our permanent magnets are manufactured according to the Magnetic Materials Producer Association standards meeting their physical [...]
How are Sintered Samarium Cobalt Magnets Made? Developed in the early 1960’s, samarium Cobalt magnets have been a highly preferred application choice as a type of rare earth permanent magnet material. Samarium cobalt magnet compositions are primarily samarium and cobalt with small amounts of iron, copper, zirconium depending on the material grade. The powerful sintered [...]
