As explained by Entrepreneurship Life in the article “What Are The Uses Of An Industrial Magnet?”, industrial magnets are a vital component across modern manufacturing, offering a wide range of capabilities depending on their material composition and operating environment. From motors and generators to sensors and lifting equipment, magnets provide the mechanical force and magnetic fields needed to power, detect, or secure critical systems.
Different types of industrial magnets are selected based on magnetic strength, heat resistance, and corrosion tolerance:
- Neodymium magnets are known for their strong magnetic pull and resistance to demagnetization. However, they require protective coatings in high-temperature applications. These magnets are commonly found in hoist lifting systems and compact industrial tools.
- Samarium cobalt magnets, while more expensive, can operate at temperatures up to 250°C. They offer excellent corrosion resistance and are widely used in high-performance environments such as motors, generators, sensors, and pump couplings.
- Alnico magnets, composed of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and often copper or titanium, are highly heat-resistant—tolerating temperatures up to 525°C. Their sensitivity makes them easier to demagnetize, but they remain valuable in instruments and industrial equipment requiring stable magnetic fields at high temperatures.
