Pull force and gauss measure different things. Learn which test to specify for a custom neodymium magnet and what to include with your drawing.
A practical first article inspection checklist for custom magnets: verify finished dimensions, polarity, magnetic output, coatings, and approval records before production.
Surface gauss is only the start. Specify a custom sensor magnet by the field at the IC, then approve it with a repeatable working-gap test.
See the ISO 9001:2015 certificate held by the company behind MagnetsTek, its certified sales scope, and the quality information buyers should include in a custom magnet RFQ.
A quote-ready custom magnet drawing should define the finished part, its magnetic orientation, and the conditions under which it must work. At minimum, include the material family and grade, final dimensions and critical tolerances, magnetization direction, coating, continuous and peak temperature, magnetic acceptance criteria, quantity, and inspection requirements. The most expensive ambiguities are usually an […]
Introduction When engineers develop a miniature magnetic assembly, they often need magnet samples quickly. At the early prototype stage, the final design may not be fully fixed, and the engineering team may simply need a small ring magnet that is close enough to test fit, magnetic response, sensor position, or assembly function. This is where […]
