AlNiCo Magnets
Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt (AlNiCo) Magnets are high-performance permanent magnets made from a blend of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron, copper, and titanium. Manufactured through a sintering or casting process, these magnets are known for their exceptional temperature stability and adjustable magnetic properties. Their cylindrical form factor and high length-to-diameter ratio make them ideal for use with reed sensors and switches, especially in applications requiring consistent performance across a wide temperature range.
Due to their hardness, AlNiCo magnets are typically ground to achieve precise dimensions, making them a cost-effective choice for demanding sensing environments.
