Focus on the details It’s important to focus on the finer details when sourcing magnets and magnetic assemblies, particularly what function the magnet will serve. However, there is a lot more to magnet procurement than its initial intended use. Other considerations include: Will the magnet be in direct contact with metal or another magnet? What temperature will the magnet be stored? What quantity of magnets are needed? Will the magnet be used in a horizontal or vertical application? What shape of magnet best suits the application? What size magnet do we need (thickness; width; length)? Does the magnet require a specific type of coating? Does the magnet require a magnetic assembly? Being able to answer the above questions leave you in a better position to best determine which type of magnet will best serve it’s intended purpose, whatever the application.
