Samarium cobalt magnets (SmCo) are rare earth magnets composed of samarium (Sm) and cobalt (Co), typically produced in grades ranging from 18 to 32. They are valued for their ability to operate at elevated temperatures (180 °C and above) while maintaining magnetic strength under opposing fields.

With exceptional temperature stability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability, SmCo magnets perform in environments where other materials degrade. Common applications include medical devices, high-temperature motors, and harsh industrial systems.

SuperMagnetMan supplies SmCo magnets in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and grades to meet precise performance requirements. Explore the categories below to quickly source magnets for prototyping, testing, or production builds.

Samarium cobalt magnets (SmCo) deliver exceptional stability at high temperatures (180 °C+) and resist demagnetization in demanding conditions. With excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability, they are ideal for medical devices, high-temperature motors, and industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are samarium cobalt magnets used for?

Samarium cobalt magnets are ideal for applications requiring high magnetic strength and temperature resistance, such as aerospace, motors, and medical devices.

What are the different magnet grades of samarium cobalt?

SuperMagnetMan carries four samarium cobalt (SmCo) grades: SmCo18, SmCo26, SmCo30, and SmCo24H. These grades vary in magnetic strength and temperature resistance—SmCo18 and SmCo26 provide excellent stability for high-temperature environments, SmCo30 offers higher magnetic performance, and SmCo24H is engineered for applications requiring both strong magnetism and superior heat resistance.

How do samarium cobalt magnets compare to neodymium magnets?

Samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets offer lower maximum strength than neodymium magnets, but they provide much better temperature stability and corrosion resistance. Neodymium magnets are the strongest rare earth magnets available, ideal when maximum magnetic power is required. SmCo magnets, on the other hand, are preferred for high-temperature or harsh environments where neodymium may lose strength or require protective coatings.

Are SmCo magnets available in discs and rectangles for testing? 

Yes, SmCo magnets are stocked in multiple shapes and sizes, including discs, rectangles and ring magnets, so you can test under harsh conditions before moving to full production.

Can you produce custom sizes, magnetization direction or coatings?

Yes. Through our engineering division, SM Magnetics, we can design and manufacture custom sizes, magnetization directions, and specialized coatings. You can either submit a custom request form or contact us directly to speak with our experts.
