The use of ferrite magnets

The use of ferrite magnets

Due to their properties and affordable price, the described magnets are distinguished by their universal and versatile use. Where can you find a ferrite magnet?

· Magnets of this type are used on a large scale in the furniture industry, and more specifically in magnetic locks.

· Another application is various types of measuring instruments, e.g. water meters. The ferrite magnet is also part of the speakers.

· Additionally, it is used in magnetic lifters. separators. They are an important element of magnetic clutches and electric motors. They are also found in generators.

· It is worth adding that magnets of this type are used in lifts and magnetic holders, and even compasses. Magnetic locks are also very popular.

Depending on the specific model and manufacturing technique, the ferrite magnet can operate in a wide range of operating temperatures. In this category you will find items that retain their properties and allow safe use even at temperatures of 300°C.

What else makes a Hard Ferrite Magnet stand out?

The magnets available in our assortment are characterized by high resistivity, which means they can be used in variable magnetic fields. In most cases, the magnets are dark gray in color. The exception are models painted blue and red to quickly distinguish the poles. Due to the way magnets are produced, they are susceptible to mechanical damage, especially falls from heights, which may result in splitting.

A special type are anisotropic magnets, which are characterized by a higher external magnetic field than standard isotropic magnets. Their properties result from, among others: from a special production process (pressing in a magnetic field).

Ferrite and Neodymium Magnet – the most important differences

Neodymium magnets, unlike ferrite ones, must be protected with an additional coating. In practice, this means a more aesthetic appearance. However, neodymium is more susceptible to high temperatures. In turn, Permanent Ferrite Magnets are more resistant to corrosion. Moreover, they cause much less disruption to the operation of devices located nearby. This is especially important in the case of hearing aids, pacemakers and other similar devices. A neodymium magnet is characterized by a higher energy density and, therefore, a very strong attraction.

In everyday use, this allows for much wider use. The higher the energy density, the smaller the magnet and, consequently, the lower the weight. We offer magnets in a wide range of sizes, so everyone will certainly find a model tailored to their specific application.
