Neodymium magnets (rare earth)
| Neodymium iron boron (rare earth) is the highest strength magnet material available.
Use where space is it a premium or a very high level of magnetism is required.
The material itself is brittle and has poor corrosion resistance. To counter this it is usually coated or supplied as a magnetic assembly (the magnet material is contained in a metal 'pot' - see our Neodymium magnet assemblies.
Neodymium magnet features:
Neodymium magnets are very brittle and must be handled with care. All are anisotropic (the magnet strength is strongest in one direction).
Alloys are available which increase maximum operating temperatures but at the expense of magnet strength. Please contact us for more information about this and custom sizes.
