Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation (Arnold), a subsidiary of Compass Diversified and a global manufacturer of high-performance magnets and precision thin metals, is highlighting the PLASTIFORM® High Energy Flexible Magnets. This innovative product line, made in America, delivers unprecedented design versatility and exceptional quality, resulting in significant system savings compared to conventional magnets.
As global supply chains shift, Arnold is uniquely positioned to support customers seeking to reshore their production. By offering domestically produced PLASTIFORM® flexible magnets, Arnold helps manufacturers strengthen their U.S. operations, improve supply chain reliability, and meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
PLASTIFORM® High Energy Flexible Magnets are engineered specifically for applications that require increased magnetic field strength while maintaining the flexibility of a bonded magnet, even in environments with high temperatures, wide temperature ranges, or exposure to corrosive materials.
These advanced magnetic and physical characteristics distinguish PLASTIFORM® magnets from standard flexible magnets, making them ideal for critical applications where reliability and durability are crucial. They are the preferred choice for applications in position sensing, chip collection, and holding, especially where reliability in harsh environments is non-negotiable.
These magnets are widely used in automated guided vehicles and robotics, sprinkler systems, cylinder position sensors, ABS brake sensors, smoke curtains, automated storage and retrieval systems, and flexographic printing presses. Their superior thermal characteristics, dimensional stability, and solvent resistance ensure consistent performance in the most demanding environments.
With energy products ranging from 1.0 to 1.6 MGOe, PLASTIFORM® magnets are available in a wide selection of thicknesses, roll sizes, and finishes, allowing them to be precisely tailored for a broad range of applications. Arnold offers both bonded ferrite and bonded rare-earth materials to meet the demanding requirements of motor stators and rotors, actuators, instrumentation, armatures, and holding magnets used across the automotive, medical, defense, and commercial sectors. The PLASTIFORM® product line’s exceptional design versatility and superior quality deliver substantial system savings compared to conventional magnets. Their advanced chemical resistance, ability to perform at high operating temperatures, and strong holding forces provide manufacturers with a distinct advantage when seeking reliable and long-lasting magnetic solutions.
As more U.S. manufacturers look to reshore their production for greater supply chain security and reduced lead times, Arnold’s domestically produced PLASTIFORM® flexible magnets offer a strategic advantage. By sourcing from Arnold’s U.S. facilities, customers can reduce reliance on overseas suppliers, ensure compliance with American quality standards, and support domestic manufacturing jobs.
