Neodymium Magnet Applications

HeadphonesReed SwitchesHome Alarm SystemsHard Disc DrivesMagnetic Knife Holder

Neodymium magnets are frequently used for many types of consumer, commercial, industrial & technical applications where strong permanent magnets are required. Due to their high-magnetic strength, components that previously had to be large and heavy can now be miniaturized by using Neodymium (NdFeB) magnet materials. Common applications for neodymium magnets include:

  • Holding Systems Requring Very High Forces
  • Sensors
  • Reed switches
  • Hard Disc Drives
  • Audio Equipment
  • Acoustic Pick-Ups

Alnico magnets are relatively high in magnetic strength, offer excellent temperature stability and can be used in temperatures up to 1000°F (500°C), so they are ideal for many types of industrial manufacturing applications. In addition, Alnico magnets are manufactured through a casting or sintering process, so they can be made into complex shapes, not possible to achieve with other magnet materials. They are routinely used in the oil and gas, medical, aerospace military and defense, industrial automation, automotive, and manufacturing industry.
