product name: Segment Ferrite magnet
Ferrite magnets are used in electronic inductors, transformers, and electromagnets where the high electrical resistance of the ferrite leads to very low eddy current losses. like most other ceramics, Ferrites are hard and brittle. In terms of their magnetic properties, the different ferrites are often classified as "soft" or "hard", which refers to their low or high magnetic coercivity.
Attributes of Ceramic(ferrite) Magnets:
• Least expensive material compared to alnico and rare earth magnets
• High intrinsic coercive force
• Available in simple shapes only due to manufacturing process
• Lower service temperature than alnico, greater than rare earth
• Lower energy product than alnico and rare earth magnets
• Most common grades of Y25,Y30,Y30H-1,Y30H-2,Y32,Y33 ceramic are 1, 5 and 8 (1-8 possible)
Tolerances:
For as pressed material, tolerance on the thickness (direction of magnetization) is ± .005inch. Other dimensions are ± 2% or ± .010inch, whichever is greater.
