Contact SupplierPot magnets (also known as holding magnets) are available basically into three material types and there is a great variety of size available.
1) Ferrite Pot Magnet - This material offers a good performance from an inexpensive magnet, however, they tend to be bulky and are not always suitable where space is an important factor. The steel parts are plated & the Ferrite is inert thus corrosion is limited. Maximum operating temperature is +120 C.
2) Alnico Pot Magnet - This material offers a better holding force than Ferrite systems and is the only pot magnet that can be heated to extreme temperatures. However, the high cost of the Cobalt content in the cast magnet makes the price prohibitive unless the application requires temperatures over +120C up to a maximum of +500C.
3) Rare Earth Pot Magnet - This material offer up to eleven times the performance of a Ferrite system in a comparable size. Applications tend to be specialized engineering projects where performance and available space are key factors. Maximum operating temperatures are +60C for the Neodymium and +150C - +250C for the Samarium depending on the design configuration.
