Custom shaped magnets — made to order, dimensions to confirm

Custom-Shaped Neodymium Magnets

Custom shapes are the route for geometries that do not fall inside the six published shape ranges. No size table, tolerance table or magnetization list is published for custom shapes as a group, because a custom shape has no standard geometry to tabulate. This page therefore states the route, not a range: describe the shape, give the dimensions, name the grade temperature series you want to discuss, and state the magnetization direction in plain words with a sketch where possible. The review can then confirm whether the shape can be made, rather than the buyer having to guess from another shape's table.

What a custom inquiry should contain

A usable custom inquiry contains a dimensioned sketch or a dimension list, the grade temperature series, the magnetization direction described in plain words, the operating temperature, and the fixing arrangement. It should also ask about coating and warranty as open questions, and about quantity and lead time in the same buyer-imperative form used throughout this site. Please confirm minimum order quantity and lead time before ordering. A custom inquiry that only says custom magnet, without dimensions, cannot be answered except by asking for the dimensions, so including them at the start saves a round of correspondence.

Custom does not mean unlimited. The published shape ranges still bound what is routinely made, and a custom geometry that departs sharply from them may need a separate feasibility answer. That answer is part of the specification review, and it should be sought before any quantity or timing is assumed. Certificates are available upon request for custom work as for standard shapes; no certificate number or issuing body is published here.

Custom-shape example photograph

The photograph below is a custom-shape magnet example. It shows an irregular assembled custom form, and it is captioned as an example only: it is not a standard shape, and its geometry must not be read as a published size. Buyers should send their own geometry rather than ordering by reference to this example photograph.
