Product Information

Full details

The FIRST4MAGNETS 50mm x 19mm x 10mm Ferrite Magnets are an excellent choice for hobbyists, engineers, and industrial users who require high resistance to corrosion and demagnetisation in demanding environments. These ceramic magnets provide a reliable 3kg pull strength and can withstand temperatures up to 180°C, making them suitable for specialized tasks ranging from conveyor systems to custom craft projects, though they are less powerful than neodymium alternatives of similar physical size.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these magnets be used outdoors?

Yes, ferrite magnets have excellent resistance to corrosion and are suitable for outdoor use.

Will these magnets lose their power in high heat?

They are designed to operate effectively in temperatures up to 180°C.

Are these magnets brittle?

Yes, as they are ceramic, they can chip or crack if subjected to high-impact forces.

Where are the poles located?

The north and south poles are located on the opposite 50mm x 19mm faces.

Can I drill into these magnets?

No, you should not attempt to drill or machine these magnets as they are brittle and will likely shatter.

Troubleshooting

Magnet feels weaker than expected when attached to a surface

Ensure the surface is made of ferromagnetic material (like iron or steel) and is completely flat and free of debris for optimal contact.

Magnet chipped during installation

Ceramic magnets are brittle; handle with care and avoid using excessive force or hammering the magnet into place.

Magnet will not stick to a surface

Verify that the surface contains iron; stainless steel or aluminum surfaces will not provide the necessary pull strength for these magnets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to high operating temperatures up to 180°C
  • Excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion
  • Highly durable ceramic composition
  • Stable magnetic field over long periods

Cons

  • Lower pull strength compared to neodymium magnets of similar size
  • Ceramic material is brittle and can crack if dropped or handled roughly
  • Not intended for applications requiring extreme magnetic force

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ferrite magnets, handle them with care to prevent impact-related damage, as ferrite is a ceramic material that can chip or shatter when dropped on hard surfaces. When mounting, ensure that the mating surface is clean and flat to maximize the 3kg pull strength. Keep these magnets away from sensitive electronic equipment, credit cards, and pacemakers, just as you would with any magnetic material. For long-term storage, keep them in a dry environment, although the material is naturally corrosion-resistant.
