How do I order magnets?

To order magnets efficiently, you need to have a good idea of what you want to achieve. Here are some points to consider:

• General type of application: Holding, moving, lifting, etc.
• Desired magnet shape: disk, ring, rectangle, etc.
• Size of the desired magnet: Diameter, length, width, height, etc.
• Tolerances: What dimensional deviations are permissible?
• Conditions under which magnets are used: elevated temperature, humidity, outdoor and indoor temperature, etc.
• Required magnetic strength: in kilo holding force, gauss, etc.
• The magnet should not cost more than X: This excludes certain materials from consideration
• Quantities required
