Overview
What Is N48SH?
N48SH is the benchmark grade for power-dense permanent-magnet machines operating at elevated temperatures. It is specified in premium EV traction motors, humanoid robot joint actuators, and high-performance servo drives. GBD-processed N48SH offers this performance at significantly reduced heavy rare earth cost.
Applications
Where N48SH Is Used
N48SH is specified across the following application categories. Each links to a full application brief with design requirements and recommended grade combinations.
EV Motors
High-performance NdFeB magnets for electric vehicle traction motors, auxiliary drives, and e-axle systems, with the temperature stability and flux density required for continuous high-torque service.
Robotics
Radial multi-pole rings, joint-motor magnets, and high-torque servo-motor assemblies for humanoid robots, collaborative robots, and industrial robotic systems.
Industrial Automation
NdFeB magnets for stepper motors, servo drives, linear actuators, magnetic couplings, and factory automation equipment across European and North American manufacturing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is N48SH NdFeB magnet?
+
N48SH is the benchmark grade for power-dense permanent-magnet machines operating at elevated temperatures. It is specified in premium EV traction motors, humanoid robot joint actuators, and high-performance servo drives. GBD-processed N48SH offers this performance at significantly reduced heavy rare earth cost.
What is the maximum operating temperature of N48SH?
+
N48SH sintered NdFeB is rated for continuous operation up to 150°C. This is the practical upper limit before thermal demagnetization begins to affect performance. For a safety margin, design for a working temperature at least 20–30°C below the maximum rating.
What is the BHmax of N48SH?
+
N48SH delivers an energy product (BHmax) in the range of 45–48 MGOe (358–382 kJ/m³). This is the maximum magnetic energy density the grade can produce, measured according to standard IEC 60404-5 magnetic testing.
What applications use N48SH magnets?
+
N48SH is typically specified for EV Motors, Robotics, Industrial Automation. The grade's combination of 45–48 MGOe (358–382 kJ/m³) energy product and 150°C maximum service temperature determines its fit for any given motor or actuator design.
