Alnico Shallow Pot Magnets
AMF Magnetics Alnico Shallow Pot Magnets are used for jigs, fixtures, holding and gripping applications where there are height restrictions. Our Alnico Magnets are manufactured with Nickel, Cobalt and Alnico Magnetic Alloys. This gives them advantageous magnetic properties like corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability. All our Alnico Shallow Pot Magnets are C5 grade.
FAQ
What is Alnico?
Alnico is a type of magnetic alloy composed primarily of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), often with small amounts of iron and other elements like copper or titanium to enhance specific properties. Known for its excellent temperature stability, high magnetic strength and resistance to demagnetisation, Alnico was one of the first widely used permanent magnet materials. It remains popular in applications requiring consistent performance in extreme conditions, such as electric motors, sensors, instruments and audio equipment. Alnico magnets are also favoured in educational and scientific settings because of their durability and reliability.
Why are they called "shallow pot" magnets?
The term "shallow pot" refers to the magnet’s design: a flat cylindrical Alnico magnet housed in a steel casing that concentrates and directs the magnetic force to one surface. This design increases holding power on flat, ferrous surfaces while maintaining a compact profile.
What are Alnico Shallow Pot Magnets used for?
Alnico shallow pot magnets are most often used in industrial and educational settings where a strong, stable magnetic field is required in a compact form. Applications include scientific instruments, magnetic clamps, holding devices and fixtures in metalworking or woodworking.
How do Alnico shallow pot magnets differ from other types?
Alnico shallow pot magnets are known for their excellent temperature stability and resistance to demagnetisation. Unlike neodymium or ceramic magnets, they can withstand much higher temperatures (often up to 500°C), making them ideal for high-heat applications.
