Reid Select Ceramic

Due to their tremendously high energy level, rare earth magnets are ideal for miniature applications. Popular applications include wind generation, electric motors, packaging, scientific experiments, design and display.

Reid Supply offers disc and cylindrical magnets primarily in Neodymium, Alnico and Ceramic models. Neodymium magnets are powerful, yet compact. Alnico magnets are ideal for high heat applications and cermanic magnets are generally the most economical. Applications are abundant: fixtures, jigs, panel mounts, end of retrieving tools, catches/latches, linear actuators, sensing, gyroscopes, flow meters, pacemakers, etc.

These plates are grooved to be able to hold round parts as well. The plates are also notched for holding parts above base of vise. Smooth on back side. They are accurately machined, hardened and ground. Constructed of plates or channels with magnets sandwiched in between. Ideal for holding heavy parts. Effective holding against shear force.

Sleeve bearings require no external lubrication. High load capacity allows for more compact design. Available in square and round shapes.

Tungsten carbide balls are used where extreme hardness and wear resistance is required. Used for applications such as bearings, ball screws, valves, coining, pivots, detents, and tips for gauges and tracers. Can also be used for ballizing, gauging, and checking.
