1. Product Overview

Ferrite rubber magnet is a flexible magnetic material made by compounding bonded ferrite magnetic powder (SrO·6Fe₂O₃) with synthetic rubber or plastic through extrusion, calendering, or injection moulding processes. It combines flexibility, elasticity, and twistability, supporting secondary processing such as cutting, punching, and PVC lamination.

 

In the motor industry, ferrite rubber magnets are mainly used in micro motors, cooling fan motors, DC motor rotors, and stepper motors. Rubber magnets account for over 40% of the global micro motor market, making them one of the core materials for motor magnetic components.

Core value: Achieve the required magnetic performance at extremely low material cost, while offering unique advantages such as flexible installation, fracture resistance, and silent operation.

4. Typical Motor Applications
4.1 Micro Motors (Over 40% Market Share)
Ferrite rubber magnets are most widely used in the micro motor sector, with a leading global market share. Typical product forms include strip and roll magnets, meeting various customisation requirements for micro motor magnetic components.
 
Typical applications:
  • Computer cooling fan motors
  • Printer stepper motors
  • Permanent magnet audio motors
  • Micro DC motors
 
4.2 Cooling Fan Motors
Cooling fans represent one of the most typical motor applications for ferrite rubber magnets.
 
Case study: A cooling fan motor uses a flexible ferrite magnetic strip with specifications of 202.8mm (length) × 22mm (width) × 3.5mm (thickness) , made from ferrite powder compounded with rubber material, which can be assembled into a ring shape. Using this flexible magnetic strip significantly reduces costs, making it particularly suitable for low-power, small fan motors and CPU fan motors.
 
4.3 Ceiling Fan Motors
Typical specification: Anisotropic rubber ferrite magnetic strip, Br: 2400–2700 Gs, (BH)max: 1.4–1.6 MGOe. Typically shipped in an unmagnetised state, assembled into a ring and placed into the iron housing, then magnetised to ensure saturation and symmetry.
 
4.4 Home Appliance Motors
Applied in refrigerators, microwave ovens, and other household appliance motor components. The flexibility and vibration resistance of rubber magnets make them particularly suitable for the frequent start-stop operating conditions in home appliances.
 
4.5 Automotive Micro Motors
Applied in automotive air conditioning fans, window motors, seat adjustment motors, etc. For these applications, NBR matrix anisotropic rubber magnets are recommended to withstand oily environments.

 


5. Selection Guide: Choosing the Right Rubber Magnet for Motor Applications
 
5.1 Core Selection Factors
Choosing the right ferrite rubber magnet for motor applications requires consideration of five key dimensions:
Factor Consideration
① Magnetisation Type Isotropic vs. Anisotropic – motors must use anisotropic
② Magnetic Performance Grade Select (BH)max grade based on torque/power requirements
③ Thickness Affects magnetic flux, air gap fit, and rotor structural space
④ Matrix Material CPE (general), NBR (oil-resistant), PVC (low cost)
⑤ Dimensions & Shape Length, width, curvature – must match rotor dimensions

 

5.2 Selection Guide by Motor Type

Motor Type Recommended Type Recommended (BH)max Recommended Thickness Recommended Matrix Notes
Toy motors Anisotropic 1.0–1.3 MGOe 1.0–1.5 mm CPE Cost priority, low torque
CPU cooling fan Anisotropic 1.3–1.5 MGOe 2.0–3.5 mm CPE Common spec: 202.8×22×3.5mm
Ceiling fan Anisotropic 1.4–1.6 MGOe 5.0–6.0 mm CPE Requires high energy product
Printer stepper Anisotropic 1.3–1.5 MGOe 1.5–2.5 mm CPE/NBR High precision required
Automotive micro motor Anisotropic 1.4–1.6 MGOe 1.5–3.0 mm NBR Oily environment = NBR mandatory
Home appliance motor Anisotropic 1.3–1.5 MGOe 2.0–4.0 mm CPE General purpose
High-speed precision motor Anisotropic (HP) 1.5–1.7 MGOe 1.0–2.0 mm NBR High energy product + heat resistance

 

5.3 Isotropic vs. Anisotropic – How to Choose for Motors

Comparison Isotropic Rubber Magnet Anisotropic Rubber Magnet
Surface flux density 100–400 Gs 2250–2700 Gs
Energy product 0.5–0.7 MGOe 1.3–1.6 MGOe
Magnetic strength Weak Approx. 20% higher than isotropic
Operating temperature ≤60°C ≤80°C (some +100°C)
Suitability for motors ❌ Not recommended ✅ Required

 

⚠️ Key conclusion: Any motor application that needs to output torque must use Anisotropic rubber magnets. Isotropic rubber magnets do not provide enough magnetic force to drive a motor rotor and are only suitable for non-power applications like fridge magnets and advertising signs.

 

5.4 Thickness Selection Guide

Motor Power Level Recommended Thickness Applications
Micro power (<1W) 0.5 – 1.0 mm Toy motors, micro vibration motors
Small power (1–10W) 1.0 – 2.0 mm Cooling fans, small appliance motors
Medium power (10–50W) 2.0 – 4.0 mm Ceiling fan motors, printer motors
High power (>50W) 4.0 – 6.0 mm Industrial motors, automotive motors

 

Relationship between thickness and magnetic force: With the same material, increasing thickness leads to increased magnetic flux and higher motor torque. However, increased thickness also increases rotor inertia and material cost – performance must be balanced against cost.

 
5.5 Matrix Material Selection Guide
Operating Environment Recommended Matrix Reason
Dry, clean environments (home appliances, fans) CPE Lowest cost, good processability
Oily environments (automotive engine compartments, machine tools) NBR Oil-resistant (mineral oils), heat-resistant
High humidity/outdoor environments CPE + PVC lamination Ferrite itself does not rust; lamination provides enhanced protection
Ultra-low-cost consumer motors PVC Lowest price, but poorer flexibility

 

5.6 Forms and Sizing

Form Applicable Motors Sizing Guidelines
Linear magnetic strips Assembled into ring-shaped rotors Length = rotor outer dia. × π; Width = rotor height; Thickness = air gap design value
Pre-formed rings Directly fitted onto the rotor Inner dia. matches rotor outer dia.; Thickness based on magnetic force requirements
Custom die-cut shapes Special motor structures Made to drawing specifications

 

5.7 Pre-Selection Checklist

Before requesting a quote from a supplier, please confirm the following:

  • Motor type and rated power
  • Rotor outer diameter (for calculating strip length)
  • Rotor height (for determining strip width)
  • Design air gap (for determining strip thickness)
  • Operating temperature range (is it above 80°C?)
  • Operating environment (is there oil contamination? → choose NBR matrix)
  • Target cost range
  • Pre-magnetised or magnetised after shipment?

 


6. Motor Strip Installation Key Points

Ring assembly: Ferrite magnetic strips are typically shipped as straight strips and assembled into rings by the customer during installation. The strip length must precisely equal the rotor outer circumference.

Magnetisation timing: Some motor strips are shipped in an unmagnetised state, fitted into the iron housing or rotor, and then magnetised – this ensures magnetisation saturation and pole symmetry.

Bonding methods:

  • Use cyanoacrylate or epoxy adhesive to bond the strip to the rotor surface
  • Alternatively, use 3M industrial-grade double-sided tape
  • For high-speed motors, consider adding mechanical retention (e.g., retaining rings)

 


7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why can't isotropic rubber magnets be used in motors?

A: Isotropic rubber magnets have a surface flux density of only 100–400 Gs and energy product of only 0.5–0.7 MGOe – insufficient to generate rotor torque. Anisotropic rubber magnets have about 20% higher magnetic force and energy product of 1.3–1.6 MGOe, making them the only choice for motor applications.

 

Q2: What is the maximum operating temperature of ferrite rubber magnets?

A: Standard is 80°C. Some high-performance grades can reach 100°C. Exceeding the temperature limit causes irreversible demagnetisation.

 

Q3: Do ferrite rubber magnets rust?

A: No. Ferrite powder is a ceramic material – it does not rust, so no additional coating is required.

 

Q4: How do I calculate the required strip length for a motor?

A: Strip length = rotor outer diameter × π. Example: rotor outer diameter 64.5mm → strip length ≈ 202.8mm.

 

Q5: How do I choose between CPE and NBR matrix?

A: Dry, clean environments (home appliances, fans) → CPE, lower cost. Oily environments (automotive motors) → NBR is mandatory.
