Permanent Ferrite Round Ring Magnets
Also known as ceramic magnets, ferrite magnets offer excellent value for money when pull strength is not the most important factor. They have a high resistance to corrosion and demagnetization and can operate in temperatures up to 180oC. Ferrite ring magnets are made specifically for loudspeaker systems and their sizes have evolved with demand from this market. However, they are also commonly used in magnetic rollers for separating applications and in the printing industry. They are also a vital component found in fast running conveyor systems in many manufacturing plants dealing with ferrous material.
Attributes of Ceramic 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)

Application
Ferrite Ring magnets can be used in a wide range of applications due to their high coercivity and low cost.
Common applications include reed switches, loud speakers, security systems, audio and television and also holding devices such as pot magnets. Our ferrite ring magnets are often used in loudspeakers and also in resonance imaging and torque drives.
