Rare Earth Magnets (Neodymium)

AMF stocks many types of permanent magnets including Ferrite, Alnico, or Samarium Cobalt magnets. Rare Earth Magnets are far stronger than other types of magnets which makes Neodymium products one of our most popular categories. Although more expensive, they offer a superior holding force that is second to none and also has an excellent size-to-strength ratio with good temperature stability. They are suitable for a wide variety of uses in all types of settings.

AMF Magnetics has Neodymium Magnets available for purchase online and in bulk quantities. There are generous discounts for large orders, ensuring you get the best value for money. The AMF warehouse is always working hard to make sure our products are fully stocked and ready for delivery. We have same-day dispatch and worldwide shipping to ensure you get your items as soon as possible!

Uses for our Strong Neodymium Magnets

For industrial applications, Neodymium Rare Earth are the strongest magnets available. They are suitable for a variety of applications where a powerful magnet is required. Any occupation from a jeweller to an engineer can use these powerful Neodymium magnets to harness maximum strength and efficiency for a magnet. AMF offers a huge range of sizes and dimensions in the Neodymium range. If you need help finding the right magnet, our sales team can help you find the ideal magnet for any circumstance.

Our smaller neodymium magnets, particularly our neodymium disc magnets and cylinder magnets, are often used by craftsmen and designers. Some applications for our mini Neodymium Magnets include jewellery making, carpentry, model making, and hanging art. These smaller magnets are also easy to handle, making them ideal for use in the home and for DIY craft projects.

Larger rare earth magnets, in particular our rare earth block magnets, are well suited to heavy-duty industrial purposes. These super-strong magnets can have a holding force of hundreds of kilos, requiring careful and experienced handling. They can often be found in magnetic separators, generators, motors and/or turbines. Our powerful neodymium magnets are regularly used by large mining, construction and engineering companies. Large rare earth magnets are often used in electric motors and wind turbines. AMF is an  ISO9001:2015 certified business so you can be certain you are being supplied with the best in the industry. We also offer specialised magnetic consultations for a range of services such as inspections, magnetic sweeping and separation.

AMF rare earth neodymium magnets are also very popular in carpentry. Our neodymium pot and countersunk magnets are the ideal choices for this type of application. These magnets are equipped with a mild steel coating to protect them against damage. Our neo pots can be used as door closures, in cabinetry, or for attaching objects to any structure. Countersunk magnets can attach to literally any surface, including glass or ceramic surfaces, making them extremely versatile. Use them in your own DIY closures in the home, or for professional products.

Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets properties:

Neodymium magnets are produced by the powder metallurgical method. They have a chemical composition of Nd2Fe14B and are very brittle and hard. Rare earth neodymium magnets have the least effective corrosion resistance of all commercial magnets (for a magnet with great anti-corrosion properties see our samarium cobalt magnets).

Rare earth magnets have a high resistance to magnetic demagnetization and an excellent cost-to-performance ratio, making them a great pick for an effective and high-quality magnet. They have good temperature resistance, however, should not be used for high-temperature applications, see our alnico magnets for a high-temperature magnet. 

FAQ

What is the difference between rare earth magnets and regular magnets?
Neodymium Magnets are the strongest and most powerful magnets commercially available. This means they have a more effective size-to-strength ratio than other magnets available. They are the best choice when looking for a powerful magnet that is effective whether small or large.

Are Rare Earth Magnets Dangerous?
Rare Earth Magnets are more powerful than usually assumed and need to be handled with care to ensure safety. When handling larger rare earth magnets, wear proper safety equipment (protective gloves and eyewear). Large Neodymium Magnets can be pulled toward other magnets or metal objects which may cause injuries if body parts are in the way. Always ensure your fingers are out of the way so they don’t get caught.

What are neodymium magnets used for?
Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets are great for a variety of applications where a very strong magnet is required. They are often used in machinery, motors or as closure systems.Anyone from an artist to an engineer can use these magnets as an effective and powerful way to employ magnetic force.

How much are neodymium magnets?
Due to our wide range of sizes and strengths, the prices of our neodymium magnets vary greatly. Our industrial neodymium magnets tend to be more expensive than our other types of magnets, like ferrite magnets. This is because they are much more powerful and less readily available than ferrite magnets. We do offer bulk discounts on all of our magnets, so the more you buy the more you save!

Is neodymium the strongest magnet?
Yes, neodymium magnetic material is the strongest available today. There is no other magnetic material on earth that is as powerful.

Are neodymium magnets safe?
Our smaller magnets are generally safe to use by the general public when used with care. Our industrial neodymium magnets are much more powerful and extra precautions should be considered. They are safe to use as long as they are properly handled. For more information on safety precautions see our safety warning.

What are neodymium rare earth magnets?
Neodymium magnets belong to the rare earth magnet family. This is because neodymium magnetic material is a part of the ‘rare earth’ elements within the periodic table. Rare earth neodymium magnets are constructed from neodymium magnetic material, iron and boron.
