Where I can find some good quality magnet rods?

[aagun918]

Hi I'm a beginner with silly questions.
All the magnet rods I can find on Ebay are made in China,they are poor at consistency and coercive force.
I brought 6 pics China made alnico 5,the flux of lowest one is only 800Gs，the highest one is 1300GS.
So I think may be I need some high quality magnet rods just like made in USA or Japan.
May I ask Does anyone knows how to buy some good alnico magnets for pups?

Hi and welcome.
Most magnets most of us use are made in china.
I use and like the Chinese made magnets, I get from Shea at Magnetic Hold.

All the info is on the spread sheet.
AddictionFX sells some different Chinese magnets.

You can also buy magnets from Mojo.

Also Tone-Kraft

As far as I know they are all made in China.

Thank you teee.As far as I know Japanese build the best alnicos,but it's hard to find.
Sounds like some kind of black humor, I live in China but it's very difficult to buy pickup magnet rods here.All exports to western countrys.
I had to pay a very high price to buy some China made magnets on ebay and Ship back to China.
Maybe they suffer a lot of shocks so magnetic field became weak.

The variation you've seen's most probably due to a less-than-ideal inital charge.

If you don't have a zap-charger to fully-charge'em yourself, you'll find those variations no matter where you live or where the mags come from.

Try Tone-kraft.com or mojotone,com and ask'em specifically to fully-zap-charge'em. They'll oblige!

HTH,

HTH,

thank you.I'm going to buy some N52 NEO magnet to charge the alnico,hope it works.

The NEOs work great charging Rod magnets.
Charging Bar magnets consistently across the whole edge of a bar magnet with NEOs is tricky.
