Alnico Pot Magnets

The Alnico Holding Pot Magnets have a threaded hole and are suited to general-purpose holding applications. Our Alnico Magnets are manufactured with Nickel, Cobalt and Alnico Magnetic Alloys. This gives them desirable magnetic properties such as good corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability. All our Alnico Pot Magnets are C5 grade.

Alnico Magnets are weaker compared to strong permanent magnets like rare earth magnets. Their mechanical strength is greater than either Neodymium or Ceramic Magnets because Alnico magnets are both hard and brittle.

Alnico Pot Magnets are used in a wide variety of situations, especially where a circular void presents itself. These magnets are placed in voids created by a drill bit in glass, plastics, timber, stone, marble and metal structures. They are also used as a joining or fastening method makes on-site or in situ assembly easy. If you require a pot magnet for jigs and fixtures see our Alnico Shallow Pot Magnets.

FAQ

What are Alnico pot magnets, and how do they differ from other magnet types? 
Alnico pot magnets are made from an alloy of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), often with iron and other elements added. These magnets are housed in a steel "pot" or casing that increases their magnetic strength and improves durability. Compared to rare earth magnets like Neodymium, Alnico pot magnets have a lower magnetic strength but offer excellent temperature stability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for high-temperature industrial applications. 

What are the typical uses of Alnico pot magnets? 
Alnico pot magnets are widely used in applications that require stable magnetic performance in high temperatures or harsh environments. Common uses include sensors, holding devices, lifting tools, educational experiments, scientific instruments and jigs in metalworking. Their reliable magnetic field and resistance to demagnetisation make Alnico pot magnets ideal for precise or long-term use. 

Can Alnico pot magnets be used in high-temperature environments? 
Yes, Alnico pot magnets are particularly well-suited for high-temperature environments. They can operate at temperatures up to approximately 500°C (932°F) without losing their magnetic properties, which far exceeds the temperature limits of most other magnet materials like Neodymium or Ferrite. This makes Alnico magnets ideal for industrial or scientific applications involving exposure to heat.
