What is Neodymium Iron Boron Magnet？

A Neodymium magnet (also known as "NdFeB", "Neo" or rare earth magnet) is a permanent magnet composed of neodymium, iron and boron. They are one of the strongest rare earth magnets of all permanent magnets, and are stronger than samarium cobalt (SmCo), alnico, and ferrite. Besides high magnetic strength, they are also comparatively affordable, which makes them ideal for an extensive array of consumer, business, industrial and technological uses.

NdFeB magnets (neodymium magnets) provide maximum performance with the smallest magnet size. The Neodymium permanent magnet is used in almost all industries, such as the automobile, aeronautics, wind power turbine, military, illumination, food production, separation, electric motor and generating industries.

Permanent NdFeB magnets Uses

NdFeB magnets are available in several different sizes and variations, including disc magnets, neodymium ball magnets, NdFeB blocks, neodymium ring magnets, neodymium arc magnets, and countersunk hole magnets.

There are also custom neodymium magnets with screwfix, and they can be rubber coated or plastic coated. This offers numerous options to accommodate a wide range of applications, including  

• For use in motor and generator drives, both wind and tidal turbines

• Meters

• Audio devices - headphones, microphones

• PC Disc drives and printers

• Vehicles (clamps, sensors, alternators, interior trim)

• Aerospace precision magnets - sensors, navigation

• Excellent performance pot magnets, fishing magnets or hook magnets

• Electronics - switches, relays, sensors

• Lifting heavy metal materials - see NdFeB magnetic lifters  

Advantages of rare earth magnets

• Continuous maintenance of the magnetic field with no loss of strength

• lightweight and compact because of the high energy density of the magnet material

• is a highly cost-effective solution

• No need for maintenance or cooling since the magnet does not generate heat from the energy source

Grade of Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets

NIB magnets are available in different grades, which correspond to their magnetic field strength, from N35 (the weakest and cheapest) to N52 (the strongest, most expensive and more brittle). Below is a list of the NdFeB permanent magnet grades and their respective magnetic properties.

NdFeB magnet

NdFeB magnet is an alloy magnet made from ND, Fe, B and other trace metal elements. It is a rare earth magnet known so far for the strongest magnetism as well as high performance (8MGOe-55MGOe) and good coercive force. Proven production process, strict quality assurance, complete technical service and remarkable cost performance.

Machining and tolerances

Neodymium is easily ground, although coolants must be used in the process to avoid spontaneous combustion of powder. Grinding should be completed before coating or plating is applied to protect the magnets from corrosion. Standard tolerances for neodymium magnets are +/-0.05mm for ground dimensions.

Temperature constraints

The temperature coefficient of neodymium has triggered several grades to be developed to meet specific operating requirements. Please refer to our chart of magnetic properties to compare the characteristics of each grade. Before choosing a neodymium magnet be sure to consider your application's maximum operating temperature.
