Rare earth samarium cobalt magnets, shorted as SmCo rectangular magnet, are a type of powerful permanent magnet made from the basic elements samarium and cobalt and other metal rare earth materials by mixing, melting, grinding, pressing and sintering. They come in various sizes and shapes, like disc,bar, ring, arc,block, etc.,. Similar to neodymium strong magnets, they belong to the rare earth magnet category, and tcan be classified as SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 according the composition ratios of samarium and cobalt. In comparison to neodymium rare earth magnets, although samarium cobalt magnets may not have as strong magnetic force, they possess two distinct advantages. Firstly, they operate effectively within a higher temperature range, and secondly, they exhibit greater resistance to corrosion. Due to these characteristics, large smco block magnets are commonly employed in applications that demand high operating temperatures, such as generators, pump couplings, sensors, electric motors, marine applications, as well as in the automotive, racing, aerospace, military, and food and manufacturing industries. SmCo rare earth magnets not only perform well at high temperatures but also maintain their magnetic properties even in temperatures below absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius), making them popular for use in low-temperature applications.
