Alnico Button Magnets

Overview - Alnico Button Magnets

Alnico Button Magnets

Alnico button magnets are compact, high-performance permanent magnets designed for reliable magnetic attraction and holding in a wide range of industrial, technical, educational, and general-purpose applications. Manufactured from Alnico (aluminium-nickel-cobalt) alloy, these button magnets offer excellent temperature stability, strong magnetic pull, and resistance to demagnetisation, making them dependable in environments where heat, vibration, or continuous use are factors.

The button magnet design features a cylindrical, low-profile shape that provides a consistent magnetic field perpendicular to the mounting surface, making them ideal for tasks requiring controlled magnetic contact, secure hold, or magnetic positioning. Their compact form factor and solid magnetic performance make Alnico button magnets suitable for applications where size, stability, and durability are important.

Alnico magnet material is particularly valued for its ability to maintain magnetic strength at elevated temperatures, outperforming many other permanent magnet materials in thermal environments. This makes button magnets a practical choice for fixture design, tool holding, magnetic separation, alignment tasks, and as magnetic components in assemblies or devices.

Typical Applications

Alnico Button Magnets are commonly used for:

• Holding, positioning, and fixturing small ferrous parts

• Tool location and magnetic stop applications

• Magnetic mounting solutions on panels and machinery

• Educational demonstrations of magnetic principles

• Light-duty industrial tasks where compact magnets are required

Their small size and dependable holding capacity make button magnets versatile tools across workshops, laboratories, fabrication floors, and classroom environments.
