Description
Technical Parameters

DongGuan Golds-magnets manufactures standard sintered Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) ring magnets engineered for high-temperature and demagnetization-resistant applications. Utilizing certified SmCo5 (1:5 series) and Sm2Co17 (2:17 series) rare-earth alloys, these ring magnets maintain magnetic stability in thermal environments exceeding 300°C where NdFeB grades degrade.

Supplied in anisotropic grades with predefined axial or diametral magnetization patterns from our ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified manufacturing lines, our standard ring inventory supports rapid prototyping and industrial integration. Each production batch undergoes hysteresis graph testing to verify magnetic output against standard specifications prior to release, with full DFARS-compliant material traceability available.

Key Features

01/

Thermal Stability: Low reversible temperature coefficient of remanence maintains consistent magnetic flux across operating ranges from -40°C to 350°C.

02/

Corrosion Resistance: Contains minimal iron content in SmCo5 and stable metallurgical structures in Sm2Co17, eliminating the mandatory nickel or epoxy plating required for NdFeB in humid environments.

03/

Demagnetization Resistance: High intrinsic coercivity (Hcj) prevents structural flux loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields or high-temperature loads.

04/

Anisotropic Alignment: Magnetic domains aligned during pressing in a magnetic field; restricted to designated axial or diametral vectors to optimize directional flux density.

05/

Mechanical Rigidity: Sintered powder metallurgy structure provides high compressive strength, though brittle characteristics require controlled mechanical handling during press-fit assembly.

 

Applications

 

Aerospace Actuators: Brushless DC motors and rotary actuators operating under high ambient temperatures and vacuum conditions.


Defense Telemetry: Traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) and microwave frequency sources requiring focused annular magnetic fields.


Medical Equipment: MRI gradient coils, blood pump magnetic drives, and surgical robot micro-motors requiring autoclave sterilization compatibility.


Sensors & Instruments: Hall-effect sensors, cryogenic flow meters, and high-precision torque meters.


Industrial Couplings: Magnetic couplings and seal pumps transferring high-temperature chemical fluids without mechanical shaft penetration.

 

Customization

 

Standard inventory covers common outer diameter (OD), inner diameter (ID), and thickness ratios. Non-standard configurations are processed per engineering drawings:

Dimensional Parameters:

Outer diameters from 3 mm to 150 mm; inner diameters down to 1 mm; thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 50 mm.

Magnetization Patterns:

Multi-pole radial rings, skew-angled magnetization, and sector-segmented ring assemblies.

 

Surface Finishes:

Uncoated (standard passivated finish), Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni), or Parylene coating for specific outgassing or particle-containment requirements.

Tolerance Grinding:

Precision diamond-wheel grinding down to +/- 0.02 mm for critical air-gap clearance requirements.

 

 

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

Production runs utilize automated jet milling, magnetic field pressing furnaces, and vacuum sintering lines within our controlled factory floor environment to maintain grain boundary uniformity and density.


Powder Processing: Closed-loop jet milling under inert nitrogen gas atmosphere prevents oxidation of raw Samarium and Cobalt raw materials.


Compaction: Isostatic pressing and magnetic field alignment ensure consistent flux distribution across the ring cross-section.


Sintering & Heat Treatment: Vacuum sintering furnaces operating at 1100°C to 1200°C followed by controlled aging cycles to lock intrinsic coercivity.


Inspection Equipment:
Hysteresis Graph Testers (Permagraph) measure Br, Hcb, Hcj, and (BH)max at ambient and elevated temperatures up to 300°C. 3D Optical Comparators and Air Gauges verify OD, ID, concentricity, and parallelism tolerances. Helmholtz Coil flux measurement systems verify total magnetic moment consistency (+/- 1% standard batch deviation).


Quality Certifications: ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified manufacturing systems with full raw material traceability and DFARS compliance options.

 

Packaging & Documentation

Packaging:

Individually separated non-magnetic plastic spacers inside iron-shielded corrugated cartons. Outer packaging meets air and ocean freight magnetic field containment limits (IATA Packing Instruction 953 compliance).

Documentation Supplied with Shipment:

Material Test Report (MTR) including chemical composition verification and DFARS statement of origin. Hysteresis loop test curves per production lot. Certificate of Conformance (CoC) referencing PO and drawing revision numbers. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for rare-earth metallic alloys.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the primary difference between SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 ring magnets?

A: SmCo5 (1:5 series) offers easier calibration and higher resistance to demagnetization at lower energy products (16 to 24 MGOe). Sm2Co17 (2:17 series) provides higher maximum energy products (28 to 33 MGOe) and superior temperature stability up to 350°C, containing trace amounts of iron, copper, and zirconium.

Q: Do Samarium Cobalt ring magnets require plating?

A: Plating is optional. Unlike NdFeB, SmCo does not oxidize rapidly in normal atmospheric conditions due to the protective passivation layer formed by cobalt and samarium. Nickel plating is applied primarily to prevent minor chipping or particle shedding during high-vibration assembly, rather than for corrosion protection.

Q: How do you prevent chipping during the assembly of thin-walled ring magnets?

A: Sintered SmCo is mechanically brittle with low tensile strength. We recommend using non-magnetic press-fitting jigs, avoiding point-load clamping, and specifying chamfered inner or outer edges on engineering drawings to distribute installation stress.

Q: What is the maximum continuous operating temperature for standard stock rings?

A: Standard SmCo5 rings operate up to 250°C. Standard Sm2Co17 rings operate up to 350°C without experiencing irreversible flux loss exceeding 5% of initial calibration values.
