1、 Increase mechanical strength

When determining magnetic components, it is important to consider the brittle composition of the magnet alloy. Depending on the application, the magnet usually experiences continuous mechanical stress, which may result in volume loss. Therefore, it causes some magnets to detach from the main body, leading to a weakening of the magnetic field. To prevent this from happening, magnets are usually combined or integrated with non-magnetic components, such as plastic, ferrous metal, or non-ferrous metal. This will create a protective shell to prevent volume loss.

2、 Enhanced magnetic force

Magnetic components can not only improve mechanical strength, but also help improve magnetic strength. Magnetic components typically have higher magnetic force compared to original magnets. Just because the magnetic flux conducting elements in the component are important components of the magnetic circuit, these elements enhance the magnetic field of the component in the region of interest through magnetic induction. However, this technique works best when magnetic components are used in direct contact with the workpiece, and even the smallest gap can significantly affect the magnetic field. These gaps can be actual air gaps or any coating or debris that causes interruption in workpiece assembly.

3、 Installation and special design features

Magnetic components can be integrated through various methods, but most of them are often mechanical. The most common type is press fit, which uses mechanical fasteners. Mechanical fastener installation also utilizes built-in threaded or through holes in the components.
