Description:What is pot magnets?
Pot magnets are made up of magnets (NdFeB, SmCo, AlNiCo or Hard Ferrite) and other
spare parts, such as metal, plastic, rubber and other components. Sometimes Pot
magnets can meet some special requirements while a single magnet can not do. In
the meantime, using pot magnets can save more cost than just using magnets and
gain the same purpose.
We can design and manufacture various magnetic assemblies according to clients requirements.
How to choose a pot magnet?
The basic principle of the holding or pot magnet is to direct and concentrate the
flux from both magnetic poles to one active face. This is usually achieved with
steel pole pieces or a steel-backing cup.
The standard selection can be broken down into three material types and there is
a great variety of systems available. The following data should act as a simple
guide:
1) Sintered Ferrite, 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) Cast AlNiCo, 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 +120°C up to a max. of +500°C.
