Ceramic/Ferrite Magnets

Ceramic magnets, or ferrite magnets, are low cost, moderate energy permanent magnets capable of withstanding operating temperatures of up to 480°F. They are highly corrosion resistant and work well in high volume applications. These qualities make them a popular choice in manufacturing and consumer applications such as speaker magnets, DC motors, reed switches, sweepers, and automotive sensors.

The most popular grades of ceramic magnet are 5 and 8. These are anisotropic grades, which are considered the most powerful. Anisotropic magnets experience magnetization exclusively in the direction formed during the pressing operation, resulting in a magnet with an overall magnetic flux output. Ceramic magnets can be made in many shapes and sizes.
