Strong ceramic and alnico magnets are critical for electronic technology and permanent magnetic uses.

You may not realize it, but we depend on magnets for a whole host of industrial, electronic, and consumer uses. While refrigerator magnets are in most every home, most people don’t think about their many technological uses. However, musicians rely on them for their microphones, speakers, and even electric guitar pickups, while the automotive industry uses them for car odometers and lighters. Other common consumer applications include mobile phones and hearing aids.

Magnets are widely used for industrial purposes such as sensing devices, electrical motors, meters, medical instruments, generators, and rotating machinery. They are essential for advanced technology including CDs, computer chips, motherboards, and other media.

Rare earth magnets have received recognition lately for their small size and impressive properties. However, magnets have played a key role in manufacturing for decades and in science for thousands of years. They were used for compasses as early as the 13th century.

Ceramic and alnico magnets are among today’s most economic choices.

Alnico magnets, developed in the 1940s, are strong magnets that retain their magnetic properties, making them suitable for many uses that require permanent magnetics. They are comprised of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt as well as copper and often titanium. Due to their high resistance to elevated temperatures, ALNICO MAGNETS are ideal for industrial applications which require stable temperature properties. They are the most widely used magnets for industrial purposes and exhibit superior mechanical characteristics. Alnico magnets may be made into intricate shapes that are not always possible with other materials.

A ceramic magnet, also known as a hard ferrite magnet, is a strong, permanent magnet that is composed of strontium carbonate and iron oxide. Using a CERAMIC MAGNET is usually less expensive than other magnet choices. Ceramic magnets are used in many products and instruments including medical equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and commercial products such as lawn mowers and outboard motors.  Ceramic magnets have excellent corrosion resistance and are one of the most popular permanent magnet choices for manufacturing.
