Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets

As a professional China Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets manufacturer and supplier, New-Mag magnetics provides customers with comprehensive project management services.

In the world of high-performance permanent magnets, Samarium Cobalt Magnets stand out as a premier solution for demanding applications. These powerful Samarium Cobalt Magnets are renowned for their exceptional temperature stability, high coercivity, and excellent corrosion resistance, making them indispensable in industries where reliability under extreme conditions is non-negotiable. As a type of rare-earth magnet, they offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to many alternatives, excelling in environments where ferrite or other magnet materials would fail. Commonly found in aerospace components, military systems, high-end motors, sensors, and medical devices, Samarium Cobalt Magnets deliver consistent magnetic performance from cryogenic temperatures up to 350°C. Their ability to maintain magnetic properties in such a wide thermal range, coupled with inherent resistance to demagnetization, positions them as the material of choice for engineers designing cutting-edge technology.


The superior performance of the magnets is intrinsically linked to their precise material composition and advanced manufacturing process. Primarily, they are classified into two main series: SmCo5 (also known as 1:5 series) and Sm2Co17 (2:17 series). The 2:17 series generally provides higher energy product and better temperature coefficients, making it suitable for the most rigorous applications. Key advantages that define Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets include high maximum operating temperature, exceptional thermal stability, and outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion, often eliminating the need for protective coatings in many environments.

Key Parameters & Specifications

  • High Magnetic Strength: Exceptional magnetic energy product (BHmax) for their size.
  • Superior Temperature Stability: Minimal reversible losses across a wide temperature range.
  • Excellent Coercivity: High resistance to demagnetization from external fields or thermal effects.
  • Outstanding Corrosion Resistance: Inherently resistant, unlike neodymium magnets which require plating.
  • Low Temperature Coefficient: Remanence and coercivity change predictably with temperature.

Our Advantages

1. Extremely Wide Operating Temperature Range: Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets exhibit exceptional thermal stability, maintaining stable magnetic properties from cryogenic temperatures up to 350°C. This makes them irreplaceable in extreme thermal cycling environments such as turbine systems and aerospace.

2. Excellent Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance: Unlike NdFeB magnets, which require electroplating protection, Samarium Cobalt magnets possess inherent corrosion and oxidation resistance. In many applications, they can be used directly without any protective coating, simplifying design and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

3. High Coercivity and Strong Demagnetization Resistance: Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets possess extremely high coercivity, effectively resisting demagnetization caused by external reverse magnetic fields or thermal effects. This high reliability makes them the preferred material for "non-standard/harsh conditions" such as defense systems and high-performance motors.

4. Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio: As a high-performance rare-earth magnet, it provides strong magnetic force while maintaining a small size and weight. Compared to ferrites or other traditional magnetic materials, it significantly improves the energy density of devices, facilitating miniaturization of applications.

5. Flexible Product Range Selection

Two main specifications are available: SmCo5 (1:5 series) and Sm2Co17 (2:17 series). The 2:17 series boasts a higher energy product (up to 240 kJ/m³) and a better temperature coefficient, allowing buyers to choose the most suitable level based on the specific engineering requirements.

6. High-Precision Machining and Customization Capabilities

New-Mag magnetics supports various shape customizations (discs, rings, cubes, arcs, cylinders, etc.) and can process complex geometries using professional diamond tools or grinding processes. Furthermore, it supports multi-pole magnetization modes to meet the precision design needs of sensors and special motors.

7. Professional One-Stop Management Service

As a leading professional manufacturer and supplier in China, New-Mag magnetics not only provides high-quality products but also offers comprehensive project management services, ensuring full-process technical support from design consultation to final delivery.


Available Shapes & Customization

Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth Magnets are available in a variety of standard and custom shapes to meet specific design requirements. Common forms include discs, rings, blocks, arcs, and cylinders. They can be easily machined (using diamond tooling or grinding due to their hardness and brittleness) into complex geometries with tight tolerances. Multi-pole magnetization patterns are also achievable for specialized sensor or motor applications. For optimal performance and safety, proper handling procedures should be followed due to their strong magnetic fields and brittle nature.

  • Halbach Arrays

    Halbach Arrays

    A Halbach array is a specific arrangement of a series of permanent magnets. The array has a spatially rotating pattern of magnetism which cancels the field on one side but boosts it on the other. The major advantages of Halbach Arrays are that they can produce strong magnetic fields on one side whilst creating a very small stray field on the opposite side. This effect is best understood by observing the magnetic flux distribution.
