Overview
What Is N52?
N52 is the highest-BHmax grade detailed in this reference; the production range extends to N58 for designs that need more energy still. It exists for applications where magnet volume is the dominant design constraint and operating temperatures are low. Commonly over-specified, many buyers would be better served by a GBD-processed N48SH that offers similar package performance with vastly better thermal margin.
Applications
Where N52 Is Used
N52 is specified across the following application categories. Each links to a full application brief with design requirements and recommended grade combinations.
Medical Devices
Precision NdFeB magnets for MRI equipment, surgical robotics, implantable devices, dental applications, and medical sensors, with the biocompatibility and traceability medical programs require.
Industrial Automation
NdFeB magnets for stepper motors, servo drives, linear actuators, magnetic couplings, and factory automation equipment across European and North American manufacturing.
Surface Protection
Recommended Coatings for N52
Coating choice is driven by operating environment and assembly method. For N52, the typical options are:

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is N52 NdFeB magnet?
+
N52 is the highest-BHmax grade detailed in this reference; the production range extends to N58 for designs that need more energy still. It exists for applications where magnet volume is the dominant design constraint and operating temperatures are low. Commonly over-specified, many buyers would be better served by a GBD-processed N48SH that offers similar package performance with vastly better thermal margin.
What is the maximum operating temperature of N52?
+
N52 sintered NdFeB is rated for continuous operation up to 65°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 N52?
+
N52 delivers an energy product (BHmax) in the range of 48–53 MGOe (382–422 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 N52 magnets?
+
N52 is typically specified for Medical Devices, Industrial Automation. The grade's combination of 48–53 MGOe (382–422 kJ/m³) energy product and 65°C maximum service temperature determines its fit for any given motor or actuator design.
