Rectangular magnet is a magnet with a rectangular shape, it has two parallel long sides and two parallel short sides, the four corners are usually at right angles, this kind of magnet is very common, and is widely used in various industries, it can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, but usually when mentioning a rectangular magnet, people tend to refer to a permanent magnet.
There are 3 main dimensions of rectangular magnets, which are length dimension, width dimension and thickness dimension, which are generally denoted by F. For example, F10x1x1mm, which stands for is a magnet with a length of 10mm, width and thickness of 1mm.
Main features of rectangular magnets;
Have a regular rectangular geometry, which makes them easy to mount and position accurately in mechanical and electronic devices.
The magnetic field distribution is relatively uniform, especially when magnetized on a flat surface, and this uniformity allows them to provide a stable magnetic force in some applications.
A variety of materials are available, each with different magnetic properties and physical characteristics for different application scenarios.
Has good mechanical strength, especially when subjected to forces parallel to its plane, which makes it perform well in applications where durability is required.
Due to their regular shape, rectangular magnets are easy to process by cutting, punching, and slotting, and can be easily adapted to different sizes and shapes.
Rectangular neodymium magnets in different sizes and coatings
According to the different materials, rectangular magnets can be made of many types of magnetic materials, such as common ferrite rectangular magnets, NdFeB rectangular magnets, SmCo rectangular magnets, Alnico rectangular magnets, the mainstream is still NdFeB and ferrite, ferrite material is suitable for applications that do not require a particularly strong magnetic field, and NdFeB is suitable for applications that need to generate a stronger magnetic field. Alnico and samarium cobalt have good temperature stability and corrosion resistance.
The direction of magnetization of the rectangular magnet can be along the length, width or thickness direction, as shown in the schematic view of the Schematic of the direction of magnetization of permanent magnets
