Simply tell us about your project and we will supply you with the right magnet.

What do people use magnets for?

This is a very common question often asked when people talk about magnets. The simplest answer we can give is that “they are used in almost every commercial application across the world, from industrial manufacturing and consumer electronic devices to sustainable energy and domestic power generation”.

They were first discovered by the ancient Greeks and originally called ‘Lodestone’, they have been the subject of re-engineering and industrialisation for many decades. As a result, high performance rare-earth magnets are now commercially available around the world. With the discovery of these small, high performance miracles came the development of new technologies.

The past decade has seen them form a fundamental part of consumer electronic devices. Without them the boom in computer hard drives would not have been possible, loud-speakers would not perform so well and new wind turbine farms springing up around the world would cease to exist. They really are simply an unnoticeable part of everyday life.

What are Neodymium Magnets?

Neodymium magnets are often referred to “NdFeb” or "Neo". First discovered in 1982 and commercially available in 1984 Neodymium magnets have largely become the most widely used type of rare earth magnet around the world. They are manufactured from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron (NdFeB). Although relatively small in size they are known for their incredible strength. Our wide selection of Neodymium magnets are all made using licensed material.

How are Neodymium Magnets made?

The main ingredients are Neodymium, Iron and Boron. The exact ingredients depend on the grade being produced. We also add a key ingredient called dysprosium to raise the coercivity of the material and increase the resistance to demagnetisation and corrosion.

Are Neodymium Magnets really that strong?

Yes, they are. Neodymium (sometimes referred to as “rare earth”) magnets are the strongest commercially available. They possess an extremely high magnetic pull, and in some cases (the very strong ones) can cause severe injury. If you would like to know how some of our customers are using Neodymium magnets, please take a moment to view our Applications Page.

Our Product Range

If you know what type of product you are looking for but need some help finding it on our website, we have created a guide below to help...

Popular Magnet Materials

Here are our most popular materials...

Neodymium

Neodymium is the most powerful of all permanent magnet materials. They are often known as “Super Magnets”. They are used in applications where the strongest magnetic force is required from the smallest possible volume of material.

Flexible (Sheet and Tapes)

A range of high quality flexible magnetic material and ferrous material, everything from sheets with adhesive to sheets with brightly colored vinyl facings.

Ceramic

Ceramic magnets do not give the power of Neodymium but creates deep depths of field and offers outstanding value for money.

Popular Magnet Shapes

Here are some of the most popular shapes available in our range...

Circular Disc & Rods

Circular discs can be fixed in place using adhesive or can be pushed into circular drilled holes in wood or plastic. We have one of the biggest ranges of sizes and materials available in the United States.

Rectangular

Including products made from N42 grade and N52 grade Neodymium magnet material, many of these magnets have unbelievable magnetic performances. A magnet 10mm (0.39") x 10mm (0.39")  and 5mm (0.2") long weighs only 4 grams (0.009lbs) and yet generates a force of over 2,800 grams (6.17lbs).

Adhesive Backed

This range includes powerful neodymium discs with the convenience of super strong 3M adhesive with a peel away backing strip.

Ring

A range of ring magnets ranging from 6mm (0.24") dia to 157mm (6.1") dia including diametrically magnetized rings and cylinders.

Countersunk

A range with a central hole that is countersunk to allow fastening in place using a countersunk screw.

Pot & Channel Clamping

Pots consist of a steel shell with a magnet sunken into one face. They come supplied with a variety of convenient fixing methods.

Hook & Eyebolts

High power clamping magnets with removable hooks or eyebolts that are ideal for holding portable lighting, POS signage, trailing cables among other popular applications.

Arc Magnets

Arc magnets can be magnetized through the thickness of their arc shape creating a unique magnetic field.

Popular Types of Magnets

Here are some of the most popular product types available in our range...

Super Strength

Made from higher grade Neodymium material or in performance increasing assemblies, these magnets have the ULTIMATE magnetic pull force performances.

Customer Applications

This section of our website has been created to showcase just some of the many ways magnets can be applied in your house, holiday home or business.

 

View our range of applications and get inspiration for your next project here!

Rare Earth Magnets

Rare earth magnets are the strongest magnets commercially available. There are two types of rare earth magnets known as neodymium and samarium cobalt magnets; because they are so strong even small magnets can be really effective making them the magnet of choice for thousands of applications.

Permanent Magnets

Permanent magnets are used everywhere and without them many everyday applications and devices that we all rely on day-to-day wouldn’t be possible. From devices around the home such as washing machines, televisions, and personal computers to industrial applications such as a recycling plants and wind turbines.

Magnetic Materials

The classification and properties of magnetic materials can be confusing. Choosing the right magnet for your application is vitally important particularly if the application is such that the consequences of a magnet failing would be extremely serious. Our technical experts pride themselves on understanding our customers’ requirements and identifying the ideal magnetic solution.
