SmCo Sintered Block Magnet for Motors from Japan

Rectangular block magnet sintered from samarium-cobalt for permanent magnet DC motors in drones and robotics, resisting demagnetization under vibration. Precisely matches HTS 8505.11.0050 for sintered metal samarium-cobalt permanent magnets.

Import Tips

Magnetize post-import if possible to qualify as 'articles intended to become permanent magnets' and defer duty

Comply with ITAR/EAR if destined for defense applications; magnets > certain field strength may be controlled

Batch test for Curie temperature certification (>300°C typical for SmCo) to support high-temp claims
