Shop By Magnet Type:
Alnico magnets are one of the most well-known types of magnet. These magnets are typically painted red and used widely in industrial and educational applications. We stock an extensive range of alnico horseshoe and bar magnets in a variety of sizes perfect for home, professional, industrial and commercial applications.
Neodymium magnets, also known as “Rare Earth Magnets” are high performance magnets and are the strongest type of magnet commercially available. We stock a huge range of neodymium magnets in a variety of shapes and sizes
Samarium Cobalt magnets are typically known as High Temperature magnets. These strong magnets can withstand operating temperatures that other magnets would simply degenerate under. This material is also very brittle by nature and can be prone to chipping and cracking.
Our ferrite magnets offer a deep depth of field as well as outstanding value for money. Ferrite magnets are typically not as powerful as neodymium magnets but are less brittle than samarium cobalt magnets. For high performance strong ferrite magnets our Channel magnets provide superb value for money in an innovative rectangular assembly.

Each month we receive hundreds of emails from our customers telling us how they use their magnets. We thought we would showcase some of these here for your inspiration:
Magnets are used all over the world in almost all modern devices from computer hard drives to the latest environmentally friendly cars and transportation. With so much information available on the internet we have provided a basic introductory guide to magnets & magnetic fields.
A Magnet is a material which produces an invisible magnetic field which can attract ferromagnetic materials. Magnets can also attract or repel other Magnets. All Magnets have at least 2 magnetic poles.
Materials containing Iron, (steel contains iron) Cobalt and Nickel are ferromagnetic and are attracted to a magnet. Most other materials such as wood, plastic, aluminium and copper are not attracted to a magnet and are called non-magnetic.
Every Magnet has at least two magnetic poles, one NORTH and one SOUTH and a magnetic field flows continuously from NORTH to SOUTH. A North pole has the same attracting force as a South pole when attracting Ferromagnetic materials.
If two bar magnets are pushed together end to end, then they will either attract each other or repel each other depending on which polarities are used (North to South, North to North or South to South) Like Poles repel – Two North poles will repel each other (push each other away). Two South poles will also repel each other.
Opposite Poles attract – A North pole will attract a South pole (jump towards and stick to each other)
A magnetic field flows from North to South and if you place a piece of paper on top of a magnet and sprinkle fine iron powder on top, the shape of the invisible magnetic fields become visible as the fine iron powder clings to them. There are many shapes of magnet and each has a different magnetic field shape.
We have included diagrams and photographs below of the magnetic fields for just a hand full of magnets. You can download a copy of our magnetic fields magnetic fields in PDF format.
