I don't like ceramics - they just don't have the N-Gauss that Neodymium magnets have.
If you're going to do it, do it with magnets that have some real strength.
IIRC they have good temperature stability, which requires special grades of neodymium magnets.
Never liked that location much though. If you get clumps of magnetized debris detaching theres nothing between there and the bearings.
I have a Taiwanese-made filter with a magnet built-in there but I dunno if I'll ever use it.
