Manufacturer & Supplier Qualification
Choosing a source for sintered neodymium magnets means checking whether its proposed production and inspection route fits the part. Axis Magnetics supports sourcing reviews around the drawing, magnetic acceptance criteria, coating environment, sample evidence, and production documentation.
Each review starts with the application, then works through material, coating, magnetization, validation, origin, and production requirements.
Ask how the proposed source will meet the geometry, tolerance, coating, and magnetization requirements. A block, thin ring, motor arc, and custom shaped part create different handling and inspection questions. Resolve exceptions to the drawing before comparing commercial terms or starting samples.
A useful review can include dimensional results, magnetic measurement data, coating information, and the inspection method proposed for the part. Confirm the test location, units, fixture or measurement setup, and acceptance window. General capability statements do not replace evidence for the actual requirement.
Discuss how coating thickness, edge coverage, chips, cracks, cleanliness, and packaging will be checked for the application. If corrosion, adhesion, or thermal testing is required, define the method and acceptance criteria with the program team. The required evidence should follow the use environment.
Record which drawing revision and material specification the samples represent, what was measured, and which application tests remain open. A sample that meets a dimensional check may still need magnetic, coating, thermal, or assembly validation before production approval.
Identify the lot records, inspection summaries, material documentation, and packaging checks the program requires. Clarify how changes to material, process, coating, or magnetization will be communicated and reviewed. Confirm any required certification against the relevant site and scope instead of assuming it covers every proposed process.
Where HRE-Free or Dy/Tb exclusions are required, request documentation for the proposed material and keep it linked to the specification under review. Composition evidence and application performance answer different qualification questions; both should be addressed before an alternate is accepted.

Direct answers for sourcing, engineering, and compliance teams reviewing this magnet path.
Axis Magnetics supports application and drawing reviews, compares sourcing options, and helps organize sample validation and production documentation. Define the program approval requirements and acceptance criteria before production.
Request evidence relevant to the part, such as dimensional results, magnetic output measurements, coating checks, and the proposed inspection method. Review it against the controlled drawing and identify any application tests or approval steps still required.
A sample can address only the checks performed on it. Record the results and remaining validation, then confirm the production inspection, documentation, packaging, and change requirements before treating the program as approved.
