What is a Neodymium Arc Magnet?

Neodymium arc magnets (also known as bent magnets) are a special form of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB), currently the strongest rare-earth permanent magnet material. Their design and applications primarily revolve around efficient rotating machinery and precision motion control systems.

Core Function: The Role of a Permanent Magnet

The main application of neodymium arc magnets is as permanent magnets in various motors or electric motors. Due to their high magnetic energy product and unique arc-shaped geometry, they can generate a strong and stable working magnetic field within a compact space, which is crucial for improving motor efficiency.

Main Application Areas

Due to their outstanding contribution to torque and rotational force stability, neodymium arc magnets are widely used in the following demanding rotating machinery and systems:

Permanent Magnet DC Motor (PMDC Motor):

Serving as stator poles, providing a stable excitation magnetic field.

Brushless DC Motor (BLDC Motor):

This is one of the most common applications of neodymium arc magnets. The magnets are typically mounted on the rotor, and drive is achieved through electronic commutation. They are central to products such as electric vehicles, drones, and high-performance fans.

Servo Motors:

Used in automated equipment requiring precise position and speed control, such as industrial robots and CNC machine tools.

Drive Motors:

Widely used in high-power-density equipment such as new energy vehicles and power tools.

Specific Role (Mechanism) in Motors:

The arc-shaped design of neodymium arc magnets perfectly matches the cylindrical structure inside motors and generators, resulting in a more rational and concentrated distribution of magnetic field lines.

Generating the Working Magnetic Field:

Arc magnets are typically installed on the inner wall of the stator (stationary part) or the outer edge of the rotor (rotating part).

Energy Conversion:

Through the interaction of the strong, stable magnetic field they generate with the electromagnetic field generated by the energized coils, electromagnetic force (Lorentz force) is produced, thereby realizing the mutual conversion of electrical energy and mechanical energy:

Motor Mode: Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy, generating torque to drive the rotor to rotate.

Generator Mode: Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

Improved Efficiency:

Using radially magnetized neodymium arc magnets can maximize the utilization of magnetic flux, thereby improving the power density and efficiency of the motor and reducing energy consumption. Neodymium arc magnets are key to achieving high performance, miniaturization, and high efficiency in modern electric motors.

What does radial magnetization mean?

Radial magnetization is a specific magnetization method for arc-shaped or toroidal magnets.

Definition:

The magnetization direction of a magnet is radial, either outward or inward from its center.

Specific manifestations:

For arc magnets, the inner and outer arc surfaces become the magnet's two magnetic poles (N and S poles), respectively.

This allows magnetic field lines to originate from one arc surface, pass through the air or rotor/stator in between, and reach another arc surface, forming an ideal toroidal magnetic field, which is precisely what an electric motor needs to operate.
