Sintered SmCo magnet technology

SmCo magnet technology enables high magnetic strength combined with exceptional stability which supports precise and repeatable performance. This especially for applications in environments where extreme temperature, mechanical stress, corrosive and chemically aggressive circumstances are applicable.

What are sintered SmCo magnets?

Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) magnets are a premium class of rare-earth permanent magnets known for delivering exceptional performance in extreme environments. When reliability matters due to demanding applications, SmCo technology stands out. Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) magnets are especially suitable for applications where requirements as to high temperature are to be met. The magnetic properties are very stable and working temperature can go up to 350°C.

Another key advantage is their excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. SmCo magnets usually require no protective coating, which simplifies design and improves long-term durability, especially in harsh or vacuum environments. All magnets are tailor-made to your specific requirements and application. Two types of material are available: SmCo5 and Sm2Co17.

Key advantages of sintered SmCo (Samarium - Cobalt) magnets

  • High temperature performance, operate reliably at temperatures up to 350 °C (and even higher for special grades).
     

  • Excellent thermal stability, minimal loss of magnetic strength with temperature changes.
     

  • Strong magnetic power, high energy density for compact, high performance designs.
     

  • Outstanding corrosion resistance, typically no protective coating required.
     

  • Long-term reliability, very stable magnetic properties over time.
     

  • Ideal for harsh environments, performs well in aerospace, vacuum, and industrial applications.

In short: SmCo magnets combine strength, stability, and durability where extreme conditions demand uncompromising performance.
