From Drawing to Delivery: How Are Custom Magnetic Assemblies Manufactured?
MSUPER | Exploring the Complete Manufacturing Process of Precision Magnetic Assemblies
From a raw neodymium magnet blank to a finished precision magnetic assembly, how many manufacturing steps are required?
In applications such as servo motors, drones, robotics, wireless charging, and consumer electronics, magnets may be small, but their performance can directly influence the reliability and functionality of the final product.
For procurement professionals, sourcing custom magnetic assemblies involves much more than simply manufacturing parts according to a drawing.
Can the required dimensional tolerances be achieved? Will magnetic performance remain consistent? Is the coating reliable? Are the magnetic poles arranged correctly? Can mass-produced components maintain the same quality as approved samples?
The answers lie in every stage of the manufacturing process.
Today, MSUPER takes you behind the scenes to explore how precision magnetic assemblies are manufactured, inspected, and prepared for delivery.

01 | Raw Material Inspection: Quality Begins at the Source
Process: Cylindrical / Rectangular Magnet Blanks → Incoming Material Inspection
Every high-quality magnet begins with qualified raw materials.
Depending on product geometry and machining requirements, MSUPER processes different forms of sintered NdFeB magnet blanks, including cylindrical and rectangular blanks.
Before entering production, incoming materials undergo inspection.
Three key inspection requirements are highlighted in our manufacturing process:
1. Dimensional Tolerance Inspection: ±0.03 mm
Dimensions are checked according to the applicable inspection requirements.
2. Magnetic Property Inspection
Material properties are evaluated against the relevant Chinese national standards and applicable specifications.
3. Visual Inspection
Surface conditions and visible defects are examined to identify potential issues before further processing.
Only materials that pass the required incoming inspection proceed to the next production stage.
For buyers, this means quality control begins long before the finished magnet reaches the inspection department.

02 | Precision Machining: Different Magnet Shapes Require Different Processes
Process: Outer Diameter Grinding / Surface Grinding / Through-Hole Machining / Wire-Cut Profile Machining → Tolerance Inspection
Magnets are manufactured in far more shapes than simple cylinders and blocks.
From arc segment magnets and sector-shaped magnets used in electric motors to drilled magnets and complex custom profiles, each product requires a suitable machining method.
After incoming inspection, materials enter different machining routes according to the approved engineering drawings.
Route 1: Outer Diameter Grinding
Used to achieve the required outer diameter and circular dimensional accuracy.
Route 2: Surface Grinding
Used to control flat surfaces, thickness, and dimensional requirements.
Route 3: Through-Hole Machining
Applied to magnets requiring mounting holes, positioning holes, or other through-hole features.
Route 4: Wire-Cut Profile Machining
Used for non-standard geometries and complex magnet profiles.
These are alternative or combined machining routes, not mandatory sequential steps for every product.
After machining, the components undergo tolerance inspection.
The manufacturing process specifies a dimensional inspection tolerance of ±0.03 mm at this stage.
Only products meeting the applicable requirements proceed to subsequent bonding, slicing, and finishing operations.

03 | Bonding, Slicing, and Cleaning: Preparing for Precision Manufacturing
Process: Bonding / Workpiece Fixing → Slicing → Dimensional Inspection
For certain magnet products, the workpieces must first be bonded or temporarily secured to support the subsequent slicing process.
They then proceed to precision slicing.
Slicing quality directly affects product thickness, dimensional accuracy, and the material allowance available for further machining.
Therefore, dimensional inspection is arranged after slicing, with additional grinding and self-inspection operations included where required.
Depending on the manufacturing route, cleaning may also be performed during this stage.
Why is dimensional inspection repeated?
Because precision magnets are not necessarily completed in a single machining operation.
Slicing, grinding, and other processes can affect the final dimensions.
Identifying dimensional deviations early helps prevent nonconforming components from moving into subsequent production stages.
At MSUPER, machining and inspection work together to support consistent product quality.

04 | Complex Profile Machining and In-Process Inspection
Process: Grinding / Counterbore Machining / Laser Profile Cutting / Profile Grinding → In-Process Inspection → Uncoated Magnet Inspection
After initial slicing and dimensional inspection, some products require additional precision machining according to their structural requirements.
Our manufacturing workflow includes several finishing processes.
1. Precision Grinding
Further adjusts product dimensions and surface conditions.
2. Counterbore Machining
Creates counterbored features for magnets requiring specific mounting structures.
3. Laser Profile Cutting
Supports the machining of specified contours and complex magnet shapes.
4. Profile Grinding
Refines non-standard magnet geometries to meet dimensional and profile requirements.
In-process inspections are conducted during manufacturing to verify compliance with applicable specifications.
The components then undergo inspection before electroplating.
At this stage, the magnets are commonly referred to as uncoated magnet blanks or black magnets in manufacturing terminology.
Inspection before coating is an important quality control checkpoint.
Dimensional, structural, or visible surface defects should be identified before the components proceed to surface treatment.

05 | Chamfering and Edge Inspection: Small Details Matter
Process: Chamfering → Chamfer Inspection
Chamfering is an important step in precision magnet manufacturing.
After cutting and grinding, magnets may have sharp edges or burrs.
Chamfering modifies the edge geometry according to the product drawing and helps prepare the components for subsequent coating and assembly operations.
However, larger chamfers are not always better.
For precision magnets, chamfer dimensions must also be controlled.
That is why MSUPER includes a dedicated chamfer inspection checkpoint in its manufacturing process.
Only components meeting the applicable requirements proceed to the next production stage.
[IMAGE 06 — Before-and-After Chamfering Comparison and Edge Inspection]
06 | Electroplating and Coating Inspection: Protecting Magnet Surfaces
Process: Electroplating → Plating Inspection → Coated Magnet Inspection
Sintered NdFeB magnets generally require suitable surface protection.
In practical applications, magnets may be exposed to humidity, temperature changes, and other environmental conditions.
The appropriate coating should therefore be selected according to the intended application.
MSUPER operates its own electroplating facilities and supports different surface finishes, including:
After electroplating, products undergo coating inspection and coated magnet inspection.
Inspection items may include dimensional accuracy, coating condition, and appearance.
Why inspect dimensions again after electroplating?
Because the coating contributes to the final dimensions of the magnet.
For magnetic assemblies with tight installation clearances, both the base material dimensions and coating thickness must be considered.
Only products that meet the relevant inspection requirements proceed to magnetization or further assembly operations.

07 | Quality Coordination Across Multiple Manufacturing Routes
Process: Chamfering → Chamfer Inspection → Electroplating → Plating Inspection
Custom magnet manufacturing does not always follow one completely linear production route.
Depending on the product design and processing requirements, some manufacturing operations involve alternative routes, intermediate inspections, and process transitions.
For example, chamfering and chamfer inspection form one quality control stage, while electroplating and plating inspection form another.
These inspection points are not simply repetitive checks.
Each inspection focuses on the dimensional, visual, or process-related risks associated with the corresponding manufacturing operation.
Completing one operation does not automatically qualify a product for the next.
This principle is central to the quality management approach reflected in MSUPER's production workflow.

08 | Laser Marking, Adhesive Application, and Component Assembly
Process: Laser Processing / Line Marking / Adhesive Application / Spacer Installation / Arrangement and Assembly
After completing the necessary machining and inspection operations, some magnets proceed to additional component manufacturing processes.
The production workflow includes:
Laser Processing
Laser marking or related processing according to product requirements.
Line Marking
Marking for assembly positioning, identification, or other specified purposes.
Adhesive Application
Applying adhesive materials according to the product structure and assembly requirements.
Spacer Installation
Installing spacers or auxiliary components where required.
Magnet Arrangement and Assembly
Positioning and arranging magnets according to the specified structure and magnetic pole configuration.
These operations may be combined differently depending on the product.
For wireless charging magnetic assemblies, magnet arrangement, adhesive application, and structural positioning are particularly important.
For motor magnetic assemblies, magnet positioning and assembly accuracy can also affect final product performance.

09 | Magnetization and Assembly: Bringing Magnetic Components to Life
Process: Planar Magnetization / Multipole Magnetization → Assembly → In-Process Inspection
Magnetization is one of the key stages in magnet and magnetic assembly manufacturing.
MSUPER supports different magnetization methods according to product structure and magnetic circuit requirements.
Two types of magnetization are identified in the manufacturing workflow.
Planar Magnetization
Magnets are magnetized according to the specified magnetization direction and magnetic field requirements.
Multipole Magnetization
Specialized magnetizing equipment and fixtures are used to create the required magnetic pole distribution.
For example, certain motor magnetic assemblies require specific pole configurations, while wireless charging magnetic assemblies must match the magnetic pole arrangement defined by the product design.
After magnetization, some products undergo additional assembly and in-process inspection.
According to company materials, MSUPER is equipped with various magnetizing machines, magnetization fixtures, and automated assembly equipment to support different magnetic assembly applications.

10 | Final Inspection, Packaging, and Warehousing
Process: Final Product Inspection → Packaging → Warehousing
After raw material inspection, precision machining, surface treatment, magnetization, and assembly, the finished magnetic components enter the final inspection stage.
The manufacturing process specifies that products are inspected according to customer order requirements.
Depending on the product, final inspection may include:
-
Dimensional and structural inspection
-
Appearance and coating inspection
-
Magnetic property inspection
-
Assembly condition verification
-
Other acceptance criteria agreed upon with the customer
Once final inspection is completed, products proceed to packaging.
Magnet packaging must consider both physical protection during transportation and the applicable requirements for shipping magnetic materials.
After packaging, the products enter warehouse management and are prepared for shipment.
From raw magnet blanks to finished magnetic assemblies, the manufacturing process is now complete.
