Betaflex® (magnetic rubber)
The flexible permanent magnet that you can work yourself. Cutting, punching, drilling and sawing with normal tools.

Betaflex is a remarkable magnet material made of flexible rubber-like plastic with barium or strontium ferrite powders imbedded. During production the magnetic orientation (anisotropy) is made parallel to the thickness of the material, resulting in superior properties. /p>

Betaflex can also be worked in magnetized condition with normal tools and is insensitive to demagnetising influences.

 Examples of use

We also supply Betaflex magnet strips in thicknesses of 1.5 to 8 mm, with a max. width of 440 mm in max. production lengths of 1,040 mm. We can also supply Betaflex magnet sheets with one-side, multi-pole magnetisation up to 5 mm in thickness, which are to be used for holding. The magnet sheets can also be supplied with a self-adhesive coating on the unmagnetised side

 Application

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).
