Applications of Rare Earth NdFeB Magnetic Steel

Rare Earth NdFeB, also known as NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material, is the most magnetic and widely used rare earth permanent magnet material of contemporary times. The following is a detailed introduction to the applications of rare earth NdFeB:

Motor Field

The application of rare earth NdFeB materials is very extensive in the motor field, especially in permanent magnet motors. Using rare earth permanent magnet motors can significantly reduce the weight of the motor, decrease the size of the motor, and achieve high-efficiency energy savings and improved motor performance. For example, rare earth permanent magnet synchronous traction machines that use high-performance permanent magnet materials and special motor structures feature energy saving, environmental protection, low speed, and high torque, significantly reducing elevator energy consumption. In addition, wind power generation is another important application field for rare earth NdFeB materials, mainly used for producing permanent magnet direct-drive wind turbines. This equipment has a very simple structure, long service life, low operation and maintenance costs, and higher power generation efficiency compared to doubly-fed asynchronous wind turbines, making it more suitable for working in low wind speed environments.

Energy-saving Appliances

The application of rare earth NdFeB materials is also increasingly widespread in the field of home appliances. For example, in inverter air conditioners, the inverter compressor can use NdFeB permanent magnet materials. As the core component of the air conditioner, the application of NdFeB magnetic steel in the air conditioning compressor allows it to operate at different speeds, thereby improving the efficiency, reliability, and performance of the appliance, effectively saving energy consumption and reducing usage costs.

Consumer Electronics

Due to the small size, high magnetic performance, and high cost-effectiveness of rare earth NdFeB, which aligns with the miniaturization, lightweight, and thin development trends of consumer electronic products, it is widely used in components of consumer electronic products such as cameras and TWS earphones. In the future, with the steady growth of the smart consumer electronics market, the demand for it will also greatly increase.

Ningbo Ketian Magnetics Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Ningbo Jin tian Copper (Group) Co., Ltd.

It is a high-tech integrated enterprise engaged in the research, production, application, and development of high-performance sintered NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet materials.

Ketian Magnetics has a subsidiary in Germany and production bases in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and Baotou, Inner Mongolia, with an annual production capacity of over 13,000 tons of various grades and specifications of sintered NdFeB in the N, M, H, SH, UH, EH, AH series.

Industrial Robots and Sensors

Rare earth NdFeB magnets are also critical components in industrial robots and sensors. In the robotics field, one of the most common functions of magnets is for motion sensors. To ensure that motion sensors and other types of sensors can work properly and accurately, they require magnet assemblies with strict parameters and precision.

Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles demand high torque density, high operational reliability, and good torque control capability from their drive systems, requiring NdFeB to have high magnetic energy product, high coercive force, and high working temperature. Since magnetic energy product and coercive force are mutually exclusive, a compromise solution is needed. Applying rare earth NdFeB materials to the drive systems of electric vehicles can significantly improve their performance.

Medical and Magnetic Levitation

Rare earth NdFeB materials also have broad applications in the medical and magnetic levitation fields. For example, in the medical industry, it is used as the resonant coil in MRI systems; in the magnetic levitation field, the demand for NdFeB in magnetic levitation trains is also continuously increasing.

Other Fields

In addition to the above areas, rare earth NdFeB materials are also used in packaging, microwave communications, magnetic machinery (such as magnetic pumps, magnetic valves), ore separators, iron removers, various magnetic water conditioners, magnetizers, high-performance microwave tubes, torpedoes' electric propulsion, gyroscopes, laser guidance, alpha magnetic spectrometers and other advanced devices, as well as magnetic transmission, magnetic chucks, magnetic lifting devices, and other fields. In China and Southeast Asia, rare earth NdFeB materials are also used in the magnetotherapy market, such as posture correctors, magnetic jewelry, fat reduction machines, and the five-element acupuncture products.

In conclusion, rare earth NdFeB materials have a wide range of application fields and huge market potential. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing demand for high-performance materials, the application prospects of rare earth NdFeB materials will become even broader.
