Cylinder NdFeB Magnets, also known as cylindrical neodymium magnets, are a type of high-performance permanent magnet with a cylindrical (round bar) shape. They are made of neodymium, iron, boron and other rare earth materials, featuring high magnetic energy product, strong coercivity, compact structure and easy installation. Due to their regular cylindrical shape, they can be easily assembled into various devices, widely used in multiple industries that require stable magnetic performance and space-saving design. Below are their typical application scenarios, consistent with professional expression standards.
Ningbo Vanguard Technologies supplies cylinder 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 cylinder profile, Vanguard can provide sample shipment within 10–15 days and mass-production support for rotor assembly or bare-magnet supply.

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.
Cylinder magnets are defined by diameter (D) and axial length (L). Standard tolerance is ± 0.05 mm on all dimensions; tight-tolerance ± 0.03 mm is available on request. Chamfered edges, center holes, countersunk holes, stepped cylinders and special magnetization directions can be customized for assembly requirements.
| Dimension | Minimum | Maximum | Standard Tol. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diameter (D) | 0.2 mm | 250 mm | ± 0.05 mm |
| Axial Length (L) | 0.1 mm | 250 mm | ± 0.05 mm |
Cylinder magnets are commonly used where compact geometry, easy insertion and concentrated magnetic force are required. Vanguard reviews diameter, axial length, L/D ratio, magnetization direction, working temperature, coating and assembly method before confirming the final specification.
Diameter and L/D ratio: Short discs usually provide a broad contact area and compact holding force, while longer cylinders provide deeper magnetic reach and easier insertion into plastic, metal or machined housings.
Magnetization direction: Axial magnetization is the most common for discs and cylinders. Diametrical, radial, multi-pole and paired polarity options can be supplied for sensors, encoders, couplings and special magnetic assemblies.
Assembly reliability: Chamfer, edge radius, coating thickness, adhesive clearance and polarity marking should be confirmed together to reduce chipping, coating damage and assembly variation.
| Item | Options | Typical Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | Disc, cylinder, long rod, stepped cylinder, ring with center hole | Fit sensors, motors, couplings, fixtures and embedded assemblies. |
| Edge Treatment | Chamfer, radius, deburring, polished surface | Reduce chipping during insertion, bonding and automated handling. |
| Magnetization | Axial, diametrical, radial, multi-pole, matched flux set | Support Hall sensors, encoders, couplings and magnetic holding systems. |
| 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 centerless-ground to final diameter and length, then coated, magnetized, inspected and packed according to the approved drawing.
For automated assembly, Vanguard can provide polarity marking, matched flux batches, anti-chip packing and clean surface finish suitable for bonding, insertion or press-fit installation.
Magnetic testing: Br, Hcb, Hcj, (BH)max, surface flux, flux linkage, polarity and magnetization direction verification.
Dimensional control: Diameter, axial length, roundness, flatness, 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.
