Quick Reference Specification Checklist

When requesting design assistance, information should establish adverse conditions to which the magnet may be subjected - for example unusual temperatures, humidity, radiation, demagnetizing fields produced by other parts of the magnetic circuit, etc. The various magnet materials react differently under different environmental conditions, and it is most likely that a material can be selected which will maximize the chances of success, provided that all relevant information is conveyed.

The following checklist may be helpful in constructing and communicating specifications for permanent magnets:

 

Material type
   

 

Nominal, minimum and/or maximum magnetic properties
(Br, Hc, Hci, BHmax)
 

  Geometry and tolerances of magnet
 
  Orientation direction (and tolerance of orientation direction if critical)
 
  Whether to be supplied magnetized or not
 
  Marking requirements
 
  Coating requirements
 
  Acceptance tests or performance requirements
 
  Inspection sampling plan
 
  Packaging and identification
