Product Overview

 

Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Cylinder Magnets provide stable magnetic output in high-temperature or corrosive environments where neodymium materials fail. Produced via powder metallurgy, including vacuum induction melting, jet milling, magnetic field alignment, and vacuum sintering, these permanent magnets retain magnetic integrity up to 350°C (Sm2Co17 series).
Golds-Magnets supplies precision-ground SmCo cylinders engineered for applications requiring strict outer diameter tolerances, tight concentricity, and uniform flux distribution.

Key Features

Thermal Stability:

Remanence temperature coefficient approx. -0.035% / °C (Sm2Co17), minimizing flux loss at elevated temperatures.

Coercivity:

High intrinsic coercivity prevents irreversible demagnetization under opposing magnetic loads.

Corrosion Resistance:

Contains >60% cobalt, offering baseline resistance to oxidation without protective plating. Passivated finish is standard.

Anisotropic Alignment:

Compacted under >20 kOe magnetic fields to maximize directional remanence.

FAQ

 

 

Q: How do SmCo cylinders compare to NdFeB at elevated temperatures?

A: SmCo operates up to 350°C with minimal flux loss, whereas standard Neodymium degrades significantly above 150°C to 200°C and risks permanent structural demagnetization.

Q: How should brittle SmCo cylinders be handled during assembly?

A: Given a Vickers hardness of approx. 500 HV and low tensile strength, avoid heavy interference press-fits. Utilize running clearances with high-temperature structural epoxies (such as cyanate ester or bismaleimide) or non-ferrous clamping sleeves.

Q: Are protective coatings necessary?

A: No. Because SmCo contains >60% cobalt, standard passivation is sufficient for most industrial atmospheres. Plating is optional, reserved for cleanrooms, high-vacuum outgassing control, or severe chemical exposure.

Q: What are the typical lead times?

A: Stock blanks ship in 3 to 5 business days. Custom dimensions requiring EDM, precision grinding, and thermal aging require 3 to 4 weeks.
