We need to make some custom magnets to fit in an assembly. The magnet will be on a moving part and be used to activate a proximity sensor.
I have not been able to find anything such as machinable magnet bar stock. I am thinking of ordering a large magnet and trying to machine it down. What I end up needing are wafers 1.870 Dia. x .050 to .075 thick. I would like to have a hole in the middle as well to make installation easier.
I would appreciate any input from those who know of a source for magnet bar stock or have any experience machining magnets. My guess is we won't have much success but unless someone tells me not to even bother I will order a magnet and see what happens.
Thanks,
Don
