Typical magnet grades by application
The following ranges are technical guidance. Final grade selection is based on the operating point, geometry, temperature, corrosion exposure and required safety margin.
| Vehicle system | Typical NdFeB range | Technical focus |
|---|---|---|
| Traction motors | N35UH–N52UH / N38EH–N42EH | High coercivity, thermal stability and torque density |
| ABS and electric pumps | N38SH–N50SH / N38UH–N45UH | Dynamic response, compact design and reliable continuous operation |
| Electric power steering | N38SH–N45SH | Smooth operation, precision and high power density |
| A/C compressors and starter generators | N45SH–N52SH | Efficiency under elevated thermal loads |
| Sensors and ignition systems | N28UH–N42SH | Defined field geometry and stable signal quality |
| Loudspeakers | N35–N50 / N35M–N50M | Compact magnetic circuits with high flux density |
Maximum permissible operating temperature is not determined by the material alone. Magnet geometry, counter-field, coating, cooling and installation conditions also matter and are therefore verified for each project.
Engineering priorities for automotive magnets
Thermal and demagnetization margin
Magnetic operating-point design with sufficient reserve across the complete load and temperature profile.
Corrosion protection
Application-specific NiCuNi, epoxy, zinc or specialty coatings for moisture, salt and media exposure.
Low electrical losses
Segmentation, lamination and adapted geometries reduce eddy currents in high-speed systems.
Magnetic precision
Tight magnetization, angular-error and flux-distribution tolerances support low torque ripple.
Mechanically secure assemblies
Defined bonding, encapsulation and retention concepts secure magnets under vibration and high rotational speed.
Automotive quality
IATF 16949-oriented processes, traceability and project-specific inspection and documentation packages.
