Magnetic properties. Defined test conditions.

Grade

Select the material and operating conditions.

Geometry

Confirm shape, coating and magnetization.

Verification

Read the grade table and agreed test requirements.

Application Experience, Matched to the Project

Our magnet production and supply experience spans consumer products, industrial equipment, automotive and intelligent robotics, and aerospace and defense applications. The product, supply role and qualification requirements are defined for each project.

From Material to Finished Magnet

Controlled heating, soak and cooling zones

Controlled Thermal Processing

Thermal processing for the selected material route.

Magnetic components in a scientific instrument

Magnetic System Evaluation

Magnetic characterization against the acceptance requirements.

Permanent-magnet motor cross-sectionSELECTION GUIDEGeometry, coating, magnetization and handlingExplore applications and requirements

Any Shape, Any Tolerance

Blocks, discs, rings, arcs, and custom geometries. Tight tolerances via centerless grinding and profile machining — down to ±0.02mm on critical dimensions.

Full Coating Options

Ni-Cu-Ni, epoxy, zinc, phosphate, and Parylene coatings. Salt-spray tested to your spec. We recommend coating based on your operating environment — not just what's cheapest.

Magnetization In-House

Axial, radial, diametric, and multi-pole magnetization patterns. We verify flux output on every magnetized lot before shipment.

Handling & Packaging

Specify separation, part orientation and protection requirements for safe handling during shipment and assembly.

Include packaging requirements

What to Include in Your RFQ
