Rectangular NdFeB magnets are the most critical component in internal permanent magnet (IPM) electric motors. Produced from sintered neodymium-iron-boron powder through isostatic pressing and vacuum sintering, they combine the highest energy density of any commercial permanent magnet material with tight dimensional tolerance for reliable motor assembly.
Ningbo Vanguard Technologies supplies block magnets across the full grade family — from standard N-grade through M, H, SH, UH, and EH high-temperature series — enabling precise performance matching for each motor operating environment. All pieces undergo full magnetic testing, dimensional inspection, and salt-spray or HAST corrosion evaluation before shipment.
Whether you need a standard catalogue geometry or a fully custom block profile, Vanguard can provide sample shipment within 10–15 days and mass-production support for rotor assembly or bare-magnet supply.
Standard grades for rectangular NdFeB magnets. All values at 20 °C. Values are typical; exact grade selection is confirmed per application.

NdFeB is susceptible to oxidation without adequate surface protection. Vanguard specifies and verifies the following coating systems per IEC 60068 and ASTM B117 salt-spray standards.
Rectangular magnets are defined by length (L), width (W), and thickness (T). Standard tolerance is ± 0.05 mm on all dimensions; tight-tolerance ± 0.03 mm is available on request. Chamfered edges, countersunk holes, segmented blocks, and special magnetization directions can be customized for motor assembly.
| Dimension | Minimum | Maximum | Standard Tol. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length (L) | 1 mm | 200 mm | ± 0.05 mm |
| Width (W) | 1 mm | 200 mm | ± 0.05 mm |
| Thickness (T) | 0.5 mm | 50 mm | ± 0.05 mm |
Rectangular magnets are often simple in appearance, but their performance depends on the full motor or magnetic-circuit design. Vanguard reviews magnetic grade, magnetization direction, working temperature, assembly clearance, coating system and mechanical stress before recommending the final specification.
Grade selection: N-grade is suitable for room-temperature applications; M/H grades are used for motors with moderate thermal rise; SH/UH/EH grades are recommended for traction motors, high-speed rotors and compact assemblies with higher demagnetization risk.
Magnetization direction: Thickness, length or width magnetization can be supplied according to the magnetic circuit. Multi-pole, paired-pole and matched-set supply can also be arranged for linear motor and sensor applications.
Assembly reliability: Chamfer, edge radius, coating thickness, adhesive gap and rotor slot tolerance should be confirmed together to reduce chipping, coating damage and assembly variation.
| Item | Options | Typical Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | Block, thin plate, long strip, segmented block, step block | Fit rotor slots, magnetic assemblies and compact device spaces. |
| Edge Treatment | Chamfer, radius, deburring, polished edge | Reduce chipping during handling, bonding and press-fit assembly. |
| Magnetization | Thickness, length, width, paired polarity, matched flux set | Support IPM motors, linear motors, sensors and magnetic fixtures. |
| Surface Protection | NiCuNi, Zn, epoxy, NiCuNi + epoxy, phosphating | Improve corrosion resistance according to humidity, salt spray and temperature. |
Production starts with rare-earth alloy preparation, hydrogen decrepitation, jet milling and magnetic-field alignment. The pressed blanks are vacuum sintered, aged, sliced or ground to final size, then coated, magnetized, inspected and packed according to the approved drawing.
For motor applications, we can provide matched batches with controlled magnetic consistency, clean surface finish, edge protection and packaging designed for automated assembly lines.
Magnetic testing: Br, Hcb, Hcj, (BH)max, surface flux, flux linkage and magnetization direction verification.
Dimensional control: Length, width, thickness, flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, chamfer and appearance inspection.
Coating verification: Thickness, adhesion, salt spray, humidity resistance and thermal shock testing according to coating type.
Documentation: Material certificate, inspection report, RoHS/REACH declaration and lot traceability records are available for shipment release.
To speed up engineering review, please send a 2D/3D drawing or list the key specifications below. If your project is still in the design stage, Vanguard can help compare grade, coating and magnetization options before tooling.
