When your company’s needs, goals, and processes are completely unique, standard magnets aren’t always the right choice. Each company faces distinct challenges that require custom solutions. For that reason, Apex Magnets will work with you to determine the most suitable option for your application while offering customized products for your specific situation. We spell out the guidelines of customized ordering on our customization page, but we want to use this blog to give you a few real-life examples of how customized options can benefit your company. Read on for some of the most useful customization requests we’ve completed. 

Custom Capabilities 

Custom Blends for Heat Resistance  While Neodymium is the most powerful rare earth magnet material, it has relatively low heat resistance. To overcome this, we provide unique, custom blends of neodymium and other magnetic materials to balance out the heat resistance, making it more comparable to magnetic strength. Doing this allows you to use your product in a hot environment without fearing it will lose its strength. Different Angles for Countersink Magnets Most countersink magnets provide a standard angle and hole size for screws and bolts to fit through. However, if the standard size doesn’t fit your specific purpose, we provide custom countersinks to accommodate your fasteners. The different angles eliminate protrusion, ensuring that screws fit flush up against the top of the magnet. Beveled Edges By default, most magnets have 90-degree edges. Unfortunately, 90-degree corners make it more likely that clothing and other material or objects will snag on the magnet, creating potential safety and quality hazards. Through customization, we provide magnets with beveled edges to reduce snagging, tearing, and catching.  Marking the Poles It’s difficult to tell at a glance which side of the magnet is the north pole. To help with quick identification, we can customize your order of magnets with visible etched markings before coating is applied.  Packaging and Presentation For special products or projects, we customize packaging and arrange magnets so they are easier for your team to handle. For example, we can:
  • vacuum pack your order
  • provide magnet spacers for easier separation 
  • separate by polarity
Different Coatings Standard magnet coatings include plastic, rubber, nickel, and copper, but those might not fit your needs. We’ll work with you to determine the best solution to meet your specific requirements, and then coordinate with the manufacturer to guarantee your magnets exceed expectations.
