Non-Magnetic Alloy Center Rings | Precision Machined Rings for Shielding, Spacing & Mounting
Our precision-machined center rings offer zero magnetic interference, excellent dimensional stability, and corrosion resistance for use in electronics, medical devices, and research equipment. Custom sizes and materials available.
Guaranteed Non-Magnetic Performance: Manufactured from carefully selected copper-nickel, aluminum-bronze, or other non-ferrous alloys, these rings are inherently free from iron and cobalt. They ensure zero magnetic attraction (permeability µ ≈ 1.0) and will not disrupt sensitive magnetic fields, making them ideal for use near sensors, in MRI equipment, or within electronic enclosures.
Superior Machinability & Precision: Unlike brittle alternatives like ceramics, our non-magnetic alloys can be machined to exceptionally tight tolerances with excellent surface finishes. We achieve precise IDs, ODs, and parallelism (±0.005mm standard, tighter on request), ensuring a perfect fit and function in your assembly.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Conductivity: Many of our alloy options offer good to excellent resistance to corrosion from moisture, chemicals, and salts. Certain alloys also provide beneficial electrical or thermal conductivity, which can be advantageous for grounding, shielding, or heat dissipation applications.
Lightweight & Cost-Effective Alternative: Compared to dense tungsten-based non-magnetic materials, our alloy rings offer a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and are often more economical, especially for larger diameters or applications where extreme density is not required.
We provide standard and fully custom-machined rings. Below are our common capabilities.
