Contact UsBonded Ferrite magnets typically use a strontium ferrite which is powdered and mixed with the appropriate “carrier” material. These magnets are molded using either an injection or compression process. Injection-molded ferrite magnets typically use Nylon 6 or Nylon 12. The more rare, compression-molded ferrite uses epoxy.
Material Composition
A composite of ferrite powder and a polymer binder.
Key Properties
Low magnetic strength, good corrosion resistance, lightweight, and relatively low cost.
Temperature Range
Can operate up to around 266°F / 130°C.
Manufacturing Notes
Easily molded into complex shapes, reducing post- production machining. This makes bonded ferrites ideal for high volume applications where precise dimensions are needed at low cost.
Common Uses
Sensors, small motors, loudspeakers, automotive components, and low-cost consumer electronics. Large format & 3D printers.
