We can design and manufacture A Wide Range of Pot Magnets according to clients requirements.
Pot magnets (Mounting 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.
Pot Magnets (Mounting Magnets) are often used as tools for various activities in workshops and in industry. They can be used for holding workpieces whilst welding, cutting, milling or drilling etc. Because of the lack of moving parts and the robust construction of pot magnets, the life is unlimited and no maintenance is required. Just keeping the pole surf ace clean guarantee reliable operation and a long life.
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) Rare Earth Samarium & Neodymium, pots and assemblies can 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 +60°C for the Neodymium and +150°C - +250°C for the Samarium depending on the design configuration.
2) 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.
3) 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 maximum of +500°C.
