Custom Magnets
Alnico magnets, neodymium magnets, ceramic magnets and other types of rare earth magnets can be custom manufactured to specific porosities, magnetic strengths, shapes, densities and properties of magnetic permanence. Custom magnetic assemblies are fabricated for specialized holding, lifting and metal separation tasks, and single custom permanent magnets are used in technical applications in computers, electronics, medical devices and sound amplification. Magnet manufacturers often offer customized dimensions, especially for ceramic magnets, in order to fit the needs of a wider range of customers. In addition to many other industries, custom ceramic magnets are commonly used in automotive and industrial settings, and the powdered part sintering process they undergo during fabrication makes customizing shapes and dimensions fairly easy.
While custom magnets are very beneficial for the industrial industry, they are also advantageous for the commercial and residential industries as well. For instance, many businesses and professionals use custom magnetic business cards, promotional refrigerator magnets and car magnets die cut from printed sheet magnets. While the actual polymer-magnetic sheet magnet material is usually made in a magnet or polymer manufacturing plant, many business-to-consumer companies specialize in custom printing and die cutting sheet magnets into a variety of business and promotional products. The die cutting process involves either stamping or cutting two dimensional parts out of flat sheets of material, in these case magnetic alloys such as rare earth elements or ceramics. The two main methods of this process are steel rule die cutting and rotary die cutting. The custom magnets that these companies typically manufacture are sheet magnets of varying magnetic strengths that can be used as temporary business signs, automobile signs and a wide range of promotional materials. Regardless of the specific application requirements, magnet manufacturers around North America are capable of producing customized magnets and magnetic assemblies to fit virtually every application.
