Permanent Magnets
Permanent magnets are objects made from a material that is magnetized, which creates its own persistent magnetic field. There are several types of industrial permanent magnets including Ceramic, Alnico, Samarium Cobalt, Neodymium Iron Boron, injection molded, and flexible magnets. Magnetic Hold specializes in distributing Rare Earth magnets, Alnico magnets, and Ceramic magnets for a variety of industries including oil and gas, food, milling, pharmaceutical, and medical.
These magnets can be both anisotropic and isotropic. Anisotropic grades are oriented in the manufacturing direction and must be magnetized in the direction of orientation. Isotropic grades are not oriented and can be magnetized in any direction.
