The energy product of Betaflex is higher than that of sintered isotropic barium ferrite (Oxyd 100). Many interesting applications are therefore possible.

By bending Betaflex strips into circular shapes, ring magnets with radial orientation can be produced As a result, small DC motors can be produced by inserting this shaped magnetic ring into the stator sleeve.

Good and effective applications are possible in contactless position indicators with magnetic switches.

Hardness: (Shore A) 90 ≃ 100
Radius for bending max.: Thickness x 8
Ageing: No change of magnetic and mechanical properties. Becomes neither hard nor brittle.

All dimensions in mm.
The following standard dimensions are available from stock.

Chemical resistance:
- Air, ozone, water: excellent.
- Mineral oil, weak acids and bases, kerosene, glycol: no effect.
- Nitric acid: light reaction.
- Petrol, acetone, 90% alcohol: some deformation.
- Benzene, chlorinated solvents: destruction.

Rings or discs magnetised parallel to the length can be punched from strips.

An outstanding application can be found in magnetic rails for holding purposes. Here Betaflex strips are placed between 2 flat iron bars (sandwich system). This enables magnetic rails of any length with excellent holding force to be easily manufactured (see bottom left figure).
