The FIRST4MAGNETS Y10 Ferrite Magnets are ideal for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, and industrial users who need versatile magnets for non-weight-bearing applications. Offering excellent resistance to corrosion and demagnetization, they are a cost-effective solution where extreme pull strength is not the primary requirement. A key caveat is their weaker magnetic force compared to rare-earth magnets, making them unsuitable for heavy-duty lifting or holding.

The maximum pull force is approximately 0.07kg when the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a mild steel surface of equal thickness.
No, these ferrite magnets are not suitable for weight-bearing or lifting applications due to their relatively weaker magnetic force compared to rare-earth magnets.
Yes, ferrite magnets have a high resistance to corrosion and do not require special coatings, making them suitable for many outdoor applications.
These magnets can operate effectively in temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius.
Store magnets with a protective material (like cardboard or foam) between them to prevent them from attracting each other and potentially chipping. Keep them away from sensitive electronic devices.
The Y10 magnets have an outer diameter of 8mm, an inner diameter of 4mm, and a thickness of 3mm.
No, these are ferrite magnets, not rare earth magnets. Ferrite magnets are known for their value and resistance to corrosion and demagnetization, while rare earth magnets offer significantly higher pull strengths.
Ensure the material is ferromagnetic (e.g., iron, steel). Check for adequate proximity; the magnet needs to be very close to or in contact with the material. Verify that the surface of the material is clean and free from grease or dirt.
Handle magnets with care, avoiding dropping them or allowing them to snap forcefully onto other magnets or metal objects. If a magnet chips, it may become less effective and potentially hazardous; inspect for sharp edges before further use.
Ferrite magnets are highly resistant to demagnetization under normal conditions. If strength appears reduced, ensure the operating temperature has not exceeded 180°C and that the magnet has not been subjected to strong opposing magnetic fields.
Setup: These magnets are ready to use out of the box. Their specific application will dictate how they are integrated; for example, they can be glued into place using appropriate adhesives, or mounted using non-magnetic hardware if a housing is required. Ensure the surfaces they will interact with are clean and flat for optimal magnetic contact.
Compatibility: The Y10 magnets are designed to attract ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They are not compatible with non-magnetic materials like plastic, wood, or aluminum. They function best when in direct contact with a mild steel surface. Their performance may be reduced by air gaps or non-ferrous barriers.
Care: Ferrite magnets are relatively fragile and can chip or break if dropped or subjected to impact. Store them with protective material between them if storing multiple magnets to prevent them from attracting and potentially chipping each other. Clean them with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these could compromise their surface integrity over time, although they are inherently corrosion-resistant.
