Harness the Precision and Durability
What are Alnico Magnets?
Adams Magnetic Products offers a wide range of Alnico magnet solutions, including rods, bars, rotors, cow magnets, channel magnets, button magnets, and horseshoe magnets. These magnets are known for their excellent temperature stability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for various industrial applications.
Alnico magnets are permanent magnets made from an alloy of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron, copper, and sometimes titanium. They were the strongest type of magnet before the development of rare earth magnets and are known for their high-temperature stability and good corrosion resistance.
Advantages
- High Temperature Stability: Can operate at high temperatures with excellent stability.
- Good Corrosion Resistance: Less prone to oxidation compared to other magnets.
- Durability: Retain magnetic properties over a wide range of temperatures.
- Versatility: Suitable for various applications, including high-performance environments.
Features
- Hard and Brittle: Not suitable for drilling or conventional machining.
- High Magnetic Properties: Strong magnetic field and good thermal stability.
- Resistance to Demagnetization: Maintain magnetic properties over time.
- Magnetization: Efficient when magnetized after assembly in the final magnetic circuit.
Applications
Alnico magnets are used in various applications, including:
- Guitar pickups
- Magnetos
- Motors
- Separators
- Sensors
- Security systems
- Relays
- Grinding and tolerance applications
The Solutions We Offer
Alnico Bar Magnets
Alnico bar magnets offer excellent temperature stability, high residual induction, and relatively high energies.
Alnico Button Magnets
Alnico button magnets are cylindrical type holding magnets. The north and south poles are on the same plane and separated by a slot gap.
Alnico Channel Magnets
Alnico channels are magnetized as a horseshoe with the South Pole on one side of the channel & the North Pole on the other side.
Alnico Horseshoe Magnets
Alnico horseshoe magnets provide a compact, high power magnetic source, and are used for traction, lifting, sorting, clamping and retrieval.
Alnico Rod Magnets
Adams Magnetic Products offers high-performance channel magnet assemblies, designed to provide exceptional holding strength on one large surface.
Alnico Cow Magnets
Cow magnets were originally used as a tool to save the lives of cows, which eat everything from grass and dirt to nails, staples and bits of bailing wire (referred to as tramp iron).
Alnico Rotor Magnets
Alnico rotor magnets are designed with multiple poles; each pole alternates in polarity.
