Ceramic Magnetic/Physical Properties
Ceramic (Ferrite) Magnets are frequently used in magnetic devices, especially those that require a large magnetic surface area such as Overhead Plate Magnets or Crossbelt Magnetic Separators. These magnets are also commonly found in various industrial tools, such as Magnetic Knife and Tool Racks and Magnetic Sweepers.
The biggest key advantages of Ceramic Magnet compared to Neodymium Magnet is that Ceramic Magnets are often cheaper to produce and also they generate a deeper magnetic field. This enables them to attract ferrous materials from a greater distance, making them a cost-effective and efficient choice for manufacturers.
These magnets can be found in everyday objects around the home such as in Fridge Magnets where it can also be incorporated into flexible rubber strip to create a Flexible Magnet. Given that Ceramic’s are more affordable than Neodymium magnets, they are often chosen for this application. When the strength of a Neodymium magnet isn’t necessary, Ceramic’s become the go-to option, especially when considering cost per volume. There’s little reason to invest in a more expensive, higher-strength magnet if the application doesn’t require it allowing for a cost saving alternative
