Why should I convert to Neoform® magnet material?
Neoform® magnets can increase performance or reduce the size of devices made from anisotropic ceramic (grades 5 – 8) magnets. Neoform® material provides almost two times the flux and resistance to demagnetization. Substituting Neoform® magnets then gives 4 times greater energy density if substituted directly, or the Neoform® based device can be significantly smaller than its ceramic counterpart. Neoform® material is also isotropic, so it can be magnetized in any desired direction. Neoform® magnets are made from a compression molded material, so it can be molded to finished size as opposed to ceramic, which suffers shrinkage, and must be ground after pressing and firing. Some sintered Sm-Co devices are inefficient and could perform as well at a lower cost by substituting a pressed-to-size Neoform® part.
