SmCo Cylinder Magnet – 5mm x 12.7mm | YXG28
The SmCo Cylinder Magnet – 5mm x 12.7mm | YXG28 is a premium Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) rare earth permanent magnet engineered for applications requiring exceptional magnetic stability, outstanding temperature resistance, and superior corrosion performance. Measuring 5mm in diameter and 12.7mm in length, this precision-manufactured cylindrical magnet is ideal for demanding industrial, aerospace, medical, automotive, scientific, and electronic applications where conventional neodymium magnets may not perform reliably.
Manufactured from YXG28 grade Samarium Cobalt, this magnet delivers strong and consistent magnetic performance while maintaining excellent resistance to demagnetisation, oxidation, and corrosion. Unlike many neodymium magnets, SmCo magnets typically do not require a protective coating, making them well suited for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, vacuum conditions, or elevated temperatures.
The magnet is axially magnetised, meaning the north and south poles are located on the flat circular faces, producing a concentrated magnetic field along the length of the cylinder. This configuration makes it ideal for precision positioning, sensing, holding, actuating, and coupling applications.
With its excellent thermal stability and long-term magnetic reliability, the 5mm x 12.7mm SmCo Cylinder Magnet is an outstanding choice for engineers, manufacturers, and product designers seeking dependable magnetic performance in harsh operating conditions.

Why Choose a Samarium Cobalt Cylinder Magnet?
Samarium Cobalt magnets are recognised for delivering reliable magnetic performance in environments where other permanent magnets may lose strength or deteriorate. Their exceptional resistance to heat, corrosion, and oxidation makes them particularly suitable for demanding applications involving elevated temperatures, humidity, chemicals, or vacuum environments.
Unlike standard neodymium magnets, SmCo magnets are naturally corrosion resistant and generally do not require nickel or epoxy coatings. This simplifies installation while improving long-term durability in challenging operating conditions.
The YXG28 material grade combines excellent magnetic strength with outstanding thermal stability, making this magnet an ideal solution for precision equipment, industrial machinery, aerospace assemblies, medical technology, and scientific instruments where dependable performance is critical.

Please Note
Samarium Cobalt magnets are hard and brittle and should be handled carefully to prevent chipping or cracking if subjected to impact or allowed to snap together.
Although SmCo magnets offer excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, they should not be drilled, machined, or cut after manufacture, as this may damage the magnet and create hazardous dust.
Actual magnetic performance will vary depending on the mating material, air gap, operating temperature, alignment, and application design.
Keep magnets away from pacemakers, medical implants, magnetic storage devices, and sensitive electronic equipment. Handle with care to avoid pinch injuries when working with multiple magnets or steel components.
