Magnet Types
    Alnico magnets are sintered from a compound of aluminum, nickel and cobalt and have higher magnetic permanence and strength than all other non-rare earth magnets.
    Bar magnets are narrow, rectangular pieces of ferromagnetic material or composite that generate a magnetic field.
    Bipolar assemblies are advantageous during part transference, welding alignments and part holding applications. Bipolar magnetic assemblies maintain high heat resistance and wide magnetic reach.
    Ceramic assemblies maintain resistance to demagnetization, can withstand exposure to electrical fields and vibration and are economical. Their demagnetization resistance is beneficial in the welding and construction industries, as well as other environments subject to vibration and electricity, but they do have low heat resistance.
    Ceramic magnets made of strontium carbonate and iron oxide.
    Custom magnets are sheet, alnico, neodymium, rare earth or ceramic magnets which are fabricated to specialized sizes, magnetic strengths or densities to fit certain applications.
    Electromagnets require an electric current for the production of a magnetic field.
