Magnet Design Resources

Custom Plating Options

Magnets can be finished with a range of plating and coating options to improve corrosion resistance, appearance, durability, or compatibility with your application. The right finish depends on factors like environment, handling, wear, and assembly method.

LEARN MORE

Custom High Temperature Grades

Not all magnet grades perform the same at elevated temperatures. High-temperature grades are designed to better resist permanent magnetic strength loss in demanding thermal environments.

Magnets with Adhesive Backings

Adhesive-backed magnets can simplify installation and reduce assembly time in the right application. The best results depend on surface type, environmental conditions, load direction, and selecting an adhesive system suited to the job.

Tolerance & Geometry Limitations

Custom magnets can be made in a wide range of sizes and shapes, but manufacturing methods place practical limits on geometry and tolerances. Understanding these limits early can help avoid unnecessary cost, delays, or design revisions.

LEARN MORE

Plastic Overmolding

Plastic overmolding allows magnets to be encapsulated inside a molded plastic part for improved durability, cleaner assembly, and easier integration into products. It can also help with sealing, alignment, handling, and cosmetic appearance.

Optimizing Magnet Performance

Small changes to geometry, material grade, air gap, steel backing, and orientation can make a major difference in magnetic performance. Careful design optimization can often improve strength and cost at the same time.

Pricing Breakdown

Custom magnets are a common part of magnet sourcing and are often more cost-effective than many people expect.

In most cases, pricing comes down to two main factors:

Order Volume and Materials Graph

Order Volume & Materials

The quantity you order plays a big role in the per-piece price. Larger runs are usually more efficient because setup and quality checks are spread across more parts. Smaller runs are still very common, especially for development, prototyping, and specialty applications.

Machining and Labor Costs

Machining and Labor Per Piece

Each magnet is manufactured and finished to match the design requirements. Simple shapes are generally more economical, while added features such as countersink holes, specialty geometry, or tighter tolerances may require extra processing.

Note: For smaller magnets, especially under about 10 mm, the material grade may have less impact on price than expected. At that size, the manufacturing and finishing steps often make up a larger share of the total cost.

Minimum Order Quantities

The minimum order quantity varies based on the size of the magnet, but is relatively low. Small parts involving intricate machining operations or high likelihood of breakage and loss during machining will have a higher minimum order quantity.

Production Lead-Times

30+ Days Lead Time

The production of custom magnets typically takes 30 days. This doesn’t include shipping. Customs paperwork and requirements change frequently and can affect the timeline. We’ll provide the most up-to-date estimate when we send your quote.

How Custom Neodymium Magnets Are Made

Magnets are typically made from scratch rather than from pre-made blanks. Because there are so many possible combinations of grades, shapes, and magnetization directions, most custom magnets must be manufactured specifically for the application. The process begins with raw elements, which are combined and melted in controlled ways to create the desired magnet grade. That material is then processed into the final magnet shape, coated for protection, and magnetized before shipment.

Step 1: Smelting

Step 1: Smelting

Raw elements are melted together to form specific alloys, based on the desired magnetic grade. This is where the grade of the magnet is locked in and cannot be changed after this point.

Step 2: Powderizing

Step 2: Powderizing

The alloy is then processed into a fine powder. Because this powder is highly prone to oxidation, it must be handled in oxygen-free environments during the next steps.

Step 3: Pressing

Step 3: Pressing

The powder is magnetically aligned to orient the grains and pressed into blocks that roughly take the shape of the final magnet. This is where the basic magnet geometry and magnetization direction are locked in, although the part is not fully magnetized yet.

Step 4: Sintering

Step 4: Sintering

The pressed blocks are heat-treated in a vacuum to densify the material, remove trapped gases, and improve its magnetic properties, including coercivity eg. the magnets ability to retain a magnetic field.

Step 5: Machining

Step 5: Machining

The sintered blocks are cut, ground, and finished to their final dimensions and tolerances.

Step 6: Plating/Coating

Step 6: Plating/coating

A protective coating is applied to help prevent oxidation and corrosion. One of the most common options is a three-layer nickel-copper-nickel electroplated coating.

Step 7: Magnetization

Step 7: Magnetization

The finished part is magnetized in a strong magnetic field, then packaged and prepared for shipment.

Step 8: Inspection

Step 8: Inspection

The magnets undergo a highly controlled dimensional and magnetic hysteresis testing regimen to measure dimensional accuracy and magnetic properties before being delivered.

Packaging Options

Parts can be packaged according to your requirements. Below is an overview of the most common factory packaging methods for custom neodymium magnets.

Spacers

Spacers

Depending on the size and strength of the magnet, we can place a nylon spacer between each magnet in the stack. The purpose of the spacer is to make handling easier when separating individual magnets. Very strong magnets can be difficult or unsafe to remove without spacers. If no preference is specified, we will decide whether spacers are needed based on our judgment.

Plastic Wrapping

Plastic Wrapping

Magnets inside each inner box are wrapped as a bundle to protect them from moisture and humidity during storage.If needed, we can also vacuum seal the magnets upon request.

Stack Quantity and Inner Box

Stack Quantity and Inner Box

Inner boxes are typically plain white folding boxes with a label on the outside listing the part name, dimensions, material specification, and box quantity.The number of magnets in each stack or row is determined by what fits best in the box, but this can be adjusted upon request if you need a specific stack quantity for counting or automated processes.

Outer Shipping Box

Outer Shipping Box

The main shipping box is a durable two ply corrugated carton designed to withstand transport. For stronger magnets, the box may include a steel liner on the inside walls. This is required by international shipping regulations when magnetic field strength exceeds certain limits. The steel liner redirects and contains the magnetic field so the package can be shipped safely.
