All You Need to Know About Neodymium Magnets

Neodymium Magnet

A neodymium magnet, also known as a NdFeB magnet or Neo magnet, is a rare-earth magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron.

These magnets are renowned for their exceptional magnetic strength and are considered the strongest permanent magnets commercially available.

Due to their impressive properties, neodymium magnets are widely used in various applications across numerous industries, such as electronics, automotive, renewable energy, and medical devices.

Various applications of neodymium magnets, illustrating their use in electronics, automotive, industrial machinery, and consumer products.

What Are Neodymium Magnets Used For?

How Do Neodymium Magnets Work?

Neodymium magnets work by producing a strong magnetic field as a result of their unique composition and crystal structure. This is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnet, which creates a powerful and focused magnetic field that can attract ferromagnetic materials or other magnets.

The strength of neodymium magnets comes from the combination of neodymium, iron, and boron, which forms a crystalline structure known as Nd2Fe14B. This structure allows the magnetic domains to align more easily, leading to a much stronger magnetic field than other magnets.

#3 Shape

We can manufacture and supply almost any shape and size of custom-designed permanent neodymium magnet to fit in with your desired products:

#4 Plating

Sintered neodymium magnet are highly vulnerable to corrosion in moist environments because of their high iron content. This vulnerability is addressed in many commercial products by adding a protective coating. We have various coatings available finished by our own in-house plating production lines:

#5 Neodymium Magnet Grade

The higher the grade, the stronger the neodymium magnets, whereas the higher the cost and the manufacturing difficulties. From the point of cost-saving and efficiency, we assist in the suitable grade selection, which could hit the spot detail for your products in the commercial application.

  • N35 – N54
  • N35M – N54M
  • N35H – N52H
  • N30SH – N48SH
  • N30UH – N42UH
  • N28EH – N40EH
  • N28AH – N35AH

#6 Magnetic Pull Force

Pull force is a measure of the force required to separate a neodymium magnet from a ferromagnetic material, like a steel plate or another magnet, when they are in direct contact.

It is typically measured in units of pounds (lbs) or Newtons (N).

The pull force of a neodymium magnet depends on its size, shape, grade, thickness, and type of ferromagnetic material with which it is in contact.

#7 Operation Temperature

Before purchasing neodymium magnets, we should ensure their operating temperature remains within the appropriate range for their grade to avoid performance issues, demagnetization, or damage to the magnet or surrounding components.

Maximum Working Temperature:

This is the highest temperature at which a neodymium magnet can maintain its magnetic properties without significant magnetization loss.

Curie Temperature:

The Curie temperature is when a magnet loses its magnetic properties entirely and becomes demagnetized.

#8 Magnetized Direction

The direction is  irreversible once it is oriented. The magnetized directions have the strongest magnetism, but the rest is very poor and weak. Hence, it should be taken into consideration bfore we start a product design or production

Single-pole Magnetization:

Magnets with a conventional magnetization pattern have a single, equal strength pole on each opposite face.

Multiple-pole Magnetization:

Magnets with a two-pole or multi-pole magnetization pattern have two or more poles on one face of the magnet.

Pull Force Calculator

The theoretical maximum pull force of a neodymium magnet is usually specified assuming ideal conditions (perfectly flat surfaces, no air gaps, and the magnet’s maximum operating temperature not exceeded).

The actual pull force may be less than the specified value due to surface roughness, air gaps, and uneven weight distribution.
