Magnetic Strip – 200mm x 15mm x 6mm | Anisotropic

Description

The Anisotropic Magnetic Strip – 200mm x 15mm x 6mm is a versatile permanent magnet designed for magnetic holding, positioning, fastening and general-purpose industrial applications. Measuring 200mm long, 15mm wide and 6mm thick, this rectangular magnetic strip offers an extended magnetic contact area for applications requiring a practical, linear magnetic component.

Manufactured using anisotropic magnetic material, this strip is designed to provide enhanced magnetic performance compared with equivalent isotropic magnetic materials. During manufacturing, anisotropic magnets are produced with a preferred magnetic orientation, allowing the material's magnetic properties to be optimised along a specified direction.

The strip's 200mm length makes it particularly useful for applications requiring magnetic attraction across an extended surface, including magnetic closures, fixtures, displays, equipment assemblies and custom manufacturing projects.

Unlike small individual magnets, the elongated rectangular shape provides a continuous mounting footprint, making it suitable for applications where a longer magnetic component is preferred.

Whether you're developing a custom magnetic fastening system, creating a removable fixture or sourcing magnetic components for industrial equipment, this 200mm anisotropic magnetic strip offers a practical solution for a range of commercial, technical and DIY applications.

Also known as an anisotropic bar magnet, rectangular magnetic strip, permanent magnetic bar, industrial magnetic strip or magnetic fastening strip, this product is suitable for various magnetic holding and assembly requirements.

Please Note: The exact magnetic material composition, magnetisation pattern, pull force and surface coating have not been specified.

What Is an Anisotropic Magnet?

An anisotropic magnet is manufactured with a preferred magnetic orientation established during production.

This process allows the magnetic material to achieve optimised magnetic properties along its intended magnetisation direction.

Benefits of Anisotropic Magnetic Material

Enhanced Magnetic Performance

Anisotropic magnetic materials can provide greater magnetic performance than equivalent isotropic materials.

Defined Magnetic Orientation

The material is manufactured with a preferred direction of magnetisation.

Efficient Magnetic Design

Suitable for applications where a specific magnetic orientation is required.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Useful for magnetic assemblies, fastening systems and equipment components.

Permanent Magnetic Properties

Provides magnetic attraction without an external power source.

The exact magnetic field configuration of this product should be confirmed before use in applications requiring a specific pole arrangement.

Extended 200mm Magnetic Strip Design

The 200mm rectangular length provides an elongated magnetic component suitable for applications where magnetic attraction is required across a longer mounting area.

The strip measures:

• Length: 200mm

• Width: 15mm

• Thickness: 6mm

Its rectangular shape makes it practical for incorporation into suitably designed fixtures, housings and magnetic assemblies.

The strip may be used with compatible ferromagnetic steel surfaces or other magnetic components, depending on the intended application.

Magnetic Holding and Fastening Applications

Anisotropic magnetic strips can be useful in assemblies requiring removable magnetic attachment.

Potential applications include:

• Magnetic panel retention

• Custom magnetic closures

• Equipment fixtures

• Removable displays

• Industrial positioning systems

• Magnetic mounting arrangements

For applications involving mechanical loads, the magnetic holding capacity should be verified under actual operating conditions.

Compatible Magnetic Materials

This magnetic strip is designed to attract suitable ferromagnetic materials.

Commonly Magnetic Materials

• Mild steel

• Carbon steel

• Iron

• Certain steel alloys

• Compatible ferromagnetic components

Non-Magnetic Materials

• Aluminium

• Copper

• Brass

• Plastic

• Timber

• Glass

• Non-magnetic stainless steel

Some stainless steel grades are magnetic, while others are not.

Magnetic attraction depends on the material composition, thickness, surface condition and magnetic contact area.

Factors Affecting Magnetic Performance

Actual magnetic holding strength depends on several factors.

Magnetic Orientation: The magnetisation direction and pole arrangement influence the magnetic field and holding performance.

Contact Surface: Clean, flat steel surfaces generally provide better magnetic contact.

Steel Thickness: Thin steel surfaces may provide less magnetic holding force than sufficiently thick steel.

Air Gaps: Paint, coatings and spacing between the magnet and steel can reduce attraction.

Load Direction: Direct pull force differs from sideways or shear loading.

Operating Temperature: Excessive heat may reduce magnetic performance.

Mechanical Installation: Mounting methods and surrounding materials can influence performance.

Testing under actual operating conditions is recommended before incorporating the strip into a finished assembly.

Technical Specifications
