NdFeB (neodymium-iron-boron) magnet is the third-generation permanent magnet, which has high magnetic energy product, good coercivity, and good temperature stability. Due to its excellent properties, the NdFeB magnet has been widely used in various fields, such as aerospace, automobile transmission systems, medical equipment, and so on. In this article, we will introduce the application of NdFeB magnet in the planar rotor assembly, analyze its advantages and disadvantages, discuss its performance grades and surface treatment requirements, and illustrate the advantages of Zhejiang Zhongke Magnetic Industry Co., Ltd. in manufacturing NdFeB magnets for Planar rotor assembly.
Application of NdFeB Magnet in Planar Rotor Assembly
Planar rotor assembly, also known as pancake motor, is a kind of electrical motor which has the rotor and stator arranged in a Planar configuration. It is widely used in aerospace, automobile transmission systems, and other areas where high power density and low volume are required. As an essential part of the Planar rotor assembly, the NdFeB magnet is mainly used in the rotor. The rotor consists of a hub, a magnetic core, and NdFeB magnets. The NdFeB magnets are arranged in a circle around the hub with their north and south poles alternating. When the stator generates a rotating magnetic field, the NdFeB magnets on the rotor are forced to rotate, driving the motor to work.
Advantages and Disadvantages of NdFeB Magnet in Planar Rotor Assembly
Advantages:
1. High magnetic energy product: NdFeB magnet has the highest magnetic energy product among all types of permanent magnets, which can reach up to 52 MGOe (mega-gauss-oersted).
2. Good coercivity: NdFeB magnet has a high intrinsic coercivity, which can maintain its magnetic properties even at high temperatures.
3. Good temperature stability: NdFeB magnet has good resistance to demagnetization at high temperatures, which makes it suitable for high-temperature environments.
4. High power density: NdFeB magnet has a high magnetic energy product and a small volume, which can provide high power per unit volume.
Disadvantages:
1. Poor corrosion resistance: NdFeB magnet is prone to corrosion in humid and acidic environments, which may cause its magnetic properties to deteriorate.
2. Fragile: The NdFeB magnet is brittle and easy to break under impact or pressure.
3. Sensitive to temperature changes: NdFeB magnet's magnetic properties may change with temperature, which requires careful temperature control during use.
Performance Grades and Surface Treatment Requirements of NdFeB Magnet
Performance Grades:
NdFeB magnet is classified into five grades based on its magnetic properties: N, M, H, SH, and UH. The higher the grade, the higher the magnetic energy product and the better the performance.

Surface Treatment Requirement
NdFeB magnet needs surface treatment to protect it from corrosion and improve its mechanical properties. The most common surface treatments are electroplating electroless plating, and organic coating. Electroplating can provide a dense and uniform coating to the magnet surface, while electroless plating can penetrate into the magnet surface to form a strong coating layer. The organic coating is a kind of paint or resin coating that can provide good protection against corrosion.
