Magnet Source MAG24C Self-Contained Magnetizer

MAG24C

Details: Magnet Source MAG24C Self-Contained Magnetizer

Part No. MAG24C - Capacity: 24,500 Amp / turns Size: 10.125" L × 5.125" W × 7.563" H Weight: 40 lbs. Will magnetize Alnico 5 up to 2" × 3" and Ceramic 5 up to 2" × 2.5". Typically used to magnetize alnico. Connects to standard 120 VAC (50/60 Cycles, 14 Amps) outlet. Adjust tapered pole shoes (up to 4" gap) to fit magnet length. Place magnet or assembly between poles and depress switch for one second. Repeating the cycle does not increase magnetization.

The following magnetizing forces are recommended by magnet manufacturers for various magnetic materials, expressed in Amp/turns required per inch of length of magnet material:

  • Alnico 1,2,3 4000 Amp / turns / inch
  • Alnico 5,6 6000 Amp / turns / inch
  • Alnico 8, 9 10,000 Amp / turns / inch (varies by grade)
  • Ceramic 20,000 Amp / turns / inch
  • SmCo and NdFeB require capacitor discharge units.
