Molded NdFeB Magnet
模压钕铁硼(NdFeB)磁体
Molded NdFeB — also known as compression-moulded bonded NdFeB — is a rubber- or epoxy-bonded permanent magnet made by compacting rapid-quenched NdFeB powder with a binder under high pressure, then curing. It delivers high magnetic energy product without sintering, while allowing near-net-shape forming of complex geometries that would be costly or impossible to machine from sintered NdFeB.
AIC Engineering supplies the GPM series in 13 grades — from GPM-2 up to GPM-13L — covering max energy product up to 104 kJ/m³ and max operating temperature up to 180 °C. High-coercivity variants (GPM-8H, GPM-8SR, GPM-10H, GPM-12H) extend Hcj above 1000 kA/m for elevated-temperature motor and sensor applications.
Because parts are pressed to shape and cured — not cut from a sintered block — molded NdFeB is dimensionally precise, free of machining cracks, and economical in volume. The compound is corrosion-resistant and temperature-stable, making it suitable for electronic devices, automotive components, and medical equipment.
Key Features
Near-Net-Shape Moulding
Pressed to final dimensions — no machining, no cracking, low waste, tight batch consistency.
Up to 104 kJ/m³ (BH)max
Highest energy product of any bonded NdFeB form — comparable to mid-grade sintered NdFeB.
High-Temp Grades to 180 °C
GPM-8H / 8SR / 10H / 12H with Hcj above 1000 kA/m for elevated-temperature service.
Complex Geometries
Thin walls, arcs, rings, and insert-moulded assemblies — shapes that sintered NdFeB cannot deliver.

Answers to common questions about our magnets, customisation, ordering and shipping.
- What is a molded NdFeB magnet? +
- Molded NdFeB — also called compression-moulded bonded NdFeB — is a permanent magnet made by compacting rapid-quenched NdFeB powder with a rubber or epoxy binder under high pressure, then thermal-curing. No sintering is needed, and parts are pressed near-net-shape so they are dimensionally precise and free of machining cracks.
- How strong is molded NdFeB compared with other bonded forms? +
- It has the highest energy product of any bonded NdFeB form — the AIC GPM series reaches (BH)max up to 104 kJ/m³ across 13 grades (GPM-2 to GPM-13L), comparable to mid-grade sintered NdFeB while retaining the shape freedom of a bonded magnet.
- What is the maximum operating temperature of molded NdFeB? +
- Up to 180 °C. High-coercivity grades (GPM-8H, GPM-8SR, GPM-10H, GPM-12H) raise Hcj above 1000 kA/m for elevated-temperature motor and sensor applications.
- What shapes can molded NdFeB produce? +
- Rings (O.D. 3–60 mm, wall ≥ 0.6 mm), blocks and tiles, arc segments for motor rotors, insert-moulded parts with metal/plastic shafts, and thin-wall cylinders for sensors and encoders — all pressed to shape with minimal post-machining.
