Ceramic Magnets

Ceramic magnets are the lowest-cost hard permanent magnets available today. They are made from a combination of iron oxide and strontium carbonate, which is why they are also known as ferrite magnets.

What Are Ceramic Magnets?

Adams Magnetic Products supplies cost-effective and versatile stock or custom ceramic magnets, ideal for a wide range of applications due to their excellent magnetization abilities, resistance to demagnetization, and good magnetic strength.

Ceramic magnets are made from iron oxide and strontium carbonate. These magnetic products are the most widely used permanent magnets, known for their affordability, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability.

Advantages

  • Cost-Effective: Less expensive than rare earth magnets.
  • Corrosion Resistant: Naturally resistant to corrosion.
  • Easy to Magnetize: Simple magnetization process with strong resistance to demagnetization.
  • Versatile: Can be magnetized with multiple poles.
  • Variety of Grades: Available in grades 1, 5, and 8.
  • Custom Configurations: Machining and custom shapes of ferrite magnets available.
  • High Magnetic Strength: Suitable for various industrial applications.
  • Temperature Resistance: Good performance in high-temperature environments.
  • Brittleness: Requires careful handling due to brittleness.

Ceramic magnets are used in:

  • Automobile sensors
  • DC motors
  • MRI machines
  • Craft, hobby, and manufacturing projects
  • Holding, separating, and sweeping applications
