This guide is for engineers, hobbyists, and manufacturers seeking reliable magnetic solutions for demanding environments. The B&Q Samarium Cobalt Magnets offer exceptional performance in high-temperature and corrosive conditions, ensuring dependable operation where other magnets fail. A key consideration is their specific pull force, which should be matched to application requirements.

These samarium cobalt magnets have a maximum operating temperature of 300 degrees Celsius.
Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 0.8kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface.
Yes, samarium cobalt magnets have superior resistance to corrosion and demagnetisation, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
Each magnet is 10mm in diameter and 2mm thick, with a tolerance of +/-0.1mm.
The north and south poles are located on opposite 10mm diameter faces.
Yes, their high maximum operating temperature of 300°C makes them suitable for many high-temperature environments.
The primary advantage is their higher operating temperature and superior resistance to corrosion and demagnetisation compared to many other magnet types.
Ensure the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a clean, mild steel surface. The surface area and thickness of the steel also impact pull force. Verify the magnet is oriented correctly and not competing with other magnetic fields.
Avoid exposing the magnet to temperatures above 300°C, strong opposing magnetic fields, or physical impact. If used outdoors, check for any signs of corrosion that might affect performance.
Samarium cobalt magnets are brittle. Handle them gently, avoid dropping, and ensure they are not forcefully attracted to each other or metallic surfaces. Use protective layers if necessary during handling and installation.
Setup: These magnets are designed for direct integration into assemblies. Ensure the magnetic faces are clean and free of debris before placement. The north and south poles are on opposite faces, so orient them according to your design requirements.
Compatibility: The magnets are compatible with mild steel surfaces for achieving their rated pull force. They can be used in conjunction with other magnetic materials or housed within non-magnetic enclosures.
Care: Handle with care to avoid chipping or shattering, as samarium cobalt is brittle. Keep away from sensitive electronic devices if not securely housed. Clean the magnetic surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Store them away from strong opposing magnetic fields to preserve their magnetism.
