Magnetic Material Description The principal materials by which are realized the above mentioned magnetic units can be classified in: - Ferrite: is a mixture made of iron oxide and barium carbonate (or strontium) and is obtained through a dry or wet way sintering process. - Alnico: is a mixture made of iron, aluminum, nickel, cobalt and other elements in lower percentage it is obtained through fusion and its principal features are the hardness and the relative resistance to hits, the high value of mag netization and the possibility to be used to high temperatures. 8-66 Specifications are subject to change without notice (01.02.2008) Magnetic UnitsCL Series Type Selection Shape AB C D E F Reference Rectangular 14 25 2.7 8- - CL1 12 44.5 2.7 9- - CL2 18 59 3.2 9- - CL3 25 76 4.2 10 8 10 CL4 Cylindrical 9.3 M12x1.25 32 10.5 -- CL10 13.5 M18x1.5 65 11 -- CL11 18 36 6 - - CL18 23 4.5 9 10 -- CL23 31 4.5 10 10 -- CL31 25.1 4.8 10.5 9.8 -- CL20S1 22.1 4.8 10.5 9.8 -- CL20S3 50 0 10 0- - CL50 Trapezoidal 31 90 6.5 22.5 -- CL90 Dimensions are specified in millimeters (mm) Dimensions Sez x-x D S D B C C A B N A D C x x A E F B CL10 CL11 CL1 CL2 CL3 CL4 8 CL18 CL23 CL31 Dimensions (cont.)
