Magnetic Liquid Selection Guide

1. Selection Guidelines


There is no fixed pattern for selecting magnetic liquid. Selection can be made based on the magnetic field strength, gap size, and frequency characteristics of the speaker.



Item

Category

Selection Recommendation

Speaker Type

Tweeters and high-frequency drivers

Use magnetic liquid with low saturation magnetization (100–200 Gauss)

Mid-range and full-range drivers

Use magnetic liquid with saturation of 200–300 Gauss

Woofers and alarms

Use magnetic liquid with higher saturation magnetization

Magnetic Gap Field Strength

>9000 Gauss

Use magnetic liquid with 100 Gauss saturation

<9000 Gauss

Use magnetic liquid with 200 Gauss saturation

Other Factors

High sensitivity speakers

Use magnetic liquid with low viscosity

Lower sensitivity speakers

Use magnetic liquid with higher viscosity



2. Based on Saturation Magnetization


To prevent magnetic liquid splashing caused by coil vibration, sufficient saturation magnetization should be ensured:



Saturation Magnetization (Gauss)

Typical Application

110–220

Tweeters, earphones, multimedia devices

220–330

Mid-range, full-range, compression drivers, alarms

330–440

Woofers, subwoofers, alarms



3. Selection Examples


  • Long excursion speakers: Use magnetic liquid with higher saturation magnetization

  • Speakers requiring frequency response adjustment: Choose magnetic liquid with appropriate viscosity

  • Strong magnetic field environment: Use magnetic liquid with high dispersion stability

  • High power or long-term use: Choose audio ferrofluid with low evaporation rate


4. Effect of Viscosity on Damping


The viscosity of magnetic liquid affects the damping of the voice coil, thereby influencing the frequency response. Therefore, choosing the proper viscosity is very important.


Viscosity Type

Characteristics

Low Viscosity

Low damping effect, suitable for high-sensitivity systems

High Viscosity

High damping effect, suitable for systems requiring low-frequency control
