Getting Started

Whether you are looking for a common size and/or shape or require a completely custom configuration, the process of selecting a flexible magnetic strip starts the same way. The steps below provide a way to specify your magnet or serve as a starting point for a quotation for a custom order. You can order from our "Quick Ship" products in our online store or contact us to help you select the right magnetic strip or tape that works best for you.

It all starts with a few key attributes below:

Step 1 - Magnetic Strip Material Options

Select Magnet Thickness & Width

The basic parameters outline the magnet's fundamentals and lead us towards the required raw materials.

Thickness
A range of thicknesses from 0.020(in) to 0.120(in) are available for Flexible Strip Magnets.

Standard Product Pull Force and Weight

* Minimum pounds of pull per lineal foot of 1" wide strip at zero air gap.

Pole Configurations

Standard Flexible Magnets are MultiPole Single Faced Magnetized. The image to the right shows this configuration which is applicable to most applications (Multipole One Face).

Other options are available (to the right) for arranging the poles on a flexible magnetic strip. If your project calls for specific magnetization, Rochester Magnet can also accommodate this requirement.

AWESOME SOLUTIONS FOR SIGNS AND DISPLAYS!!!

Matched Pole Strip

Matched Pole strip is available for magnet face to face applications. When a magnetic receptive surface is not available, Matched Pole allows face to face without the challenge of aligning poles. Contact us for details. See More at Solutions for Signs and Displays.

High Energy and Nitril Butile for "Special Applications"

Need more strength for already-strong magnetic strips? - You may require a High Energy magnet.

Have a high temperature application or require chemical / solvent resistance? - Nitrile Butile Bonded Magnet may be right for your project.

Click to learn more about our High Energy and Nitrile Butile products.

FLEXIBLE - HIGH ENERGY

Offering a stronger level of pull force when compared to a comparable thickness of standard energy flexible magnet, High Energy flexible is highly resistant to demagnetization and free from chipping or cracking, while allowing for ease of fabrication and handling. High Energy flexible is available in adhesive-backed, vinyl laminate or plain material.

Both Standard and High Energy flexible are available in High and Low Modulus Binder. Maximum continuous operating temperatures—175° F (High Modulus), all other 160° F (70° C).Custom Profiles available.High Energy Strip and Sheet are available in a variety of energy levels. Please call so we can discuss your needs and specifications.

NITRILE BUTILE FLEXIBLE MAGNETIC MATERIAL

Versatile, high quality and economical all describe our Nitrile Butile based products. Rubber bonded strontium ferrite flexible magnets can be bent, twisted and flexed without loss of their high magnetic energy.

Flexible magnet products are produced in three forms:

Ferrite Magnet Sheets
Ferrite Magnet Strips
Ferrite Magnet Die-Cut Shapes

The following value added options are also available:

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Vinyl laminations
Polarity Identification
Customized Formulations
Special Cutting Techniques

Nitrile Butile based magnet has the versatility of accepting several methods of magnetization. The standard methods are conventional, two poles each side, and multiple pole. Custom magnetization patterns are also available making them ideal for low cost position or speed sensing encoders.

These magnets are ideal for high temperature applications and are certified for most automotive applications including inside the engine, transmission, and differential components.

Quick Ship Available On-line

Ready to ship standard stock sizes and lengths available for Quick Ship.

As always, custom sizes are easily available by request.

Step 2 - Adhesive Laminate Options

Select An Adhesive or Laminate

When choosing the ideal flexible magnetic strips it is essential to know that application ascertains whether you need a pressure-sensitive adhesive or other material laminated to the magnet. The options are explained in detail below:

Plain	Adhesive	Laminate
No Coating	PSA: Rubber	Vinyl: Matte White
No Laminate	PSA: Acrylic	WOWO
	PSA: Foam	UV Matte White
		Vinyl: Colors

LAMINATE NOTE:
The application of vinyl to the magnet material can be provided all alone or in co-existence with adhesive on another side.
Six standard colors are available for vinyl lamination:
White, Black, Blue, Yellow, Red and Green

Fundamental Best Practices for Care and Application of Adhesives

Step 3 - Cut and Scoring Options

Select Length and Cut vs Score Options

Our range of strong magnetic strip/tape can be cut or scored to meet in particular applications. The cut strip is properly boxed for single piece use and storage.

Scored material keeps the magnet undamaged on the adhesive and release liner. The one major benefit to scored materials is that it is in its roll form and so easier to store and handle. Remove the pieces as needed without eliminating the liner.

Cut Through

The blade cuts clean through the magnet and the release/lamination to create individual pieces.

Clean Score

Through magnet and adhesive, yet not through the adhesive release liner.

Partial Score

Incomplete cut through magnet and are separated into individual pieces by bending them at the score line.

Through Laminate

Allows separation of the release liner from the adhesive/magnet.

Custom

In addition, to the straight cut options identified above, we can custom die-cut in standard design or your specific shape.

Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
