Ferrite arc magnets
Ferrite arc magnets are a segment of ferrite magnets shaped into an arc, commonly used in rotary applications such as electric motors and generators. Made from iron oxide and strontium or barium carbonate, these magnets are known for their cost-effectiveness and robust resistance to demagnetization and corrosion. Their magnetic properties make them suitable for operating in a wide range of temperatures and harsh environmental conditions.
The arc shape allows these magnets to provide a consistent magnetic field that is essential for the smooth operation of rotating mechanisms. Manufactured primarily through a sintering process, ferrite arc magnets can be produced in various sizes and dimensions to meet specific application needs, ensuring flexibility in design and functionality.
Ferrite arc magnets are widely utilized in automotive components, such as alternators and starter motors, as well as in industrial machinery. Their durability and economic viability make them a popular choice in applications where high magnetic strength is not the paramount concern but where longevity and resistance to wear and external conditions are valued.
