Lead time and MOQ: what to expect in magnet sourcing
Typical lead time and MOQ drivers for NdFeB and SmCo sourcing.
Last updated on 2026/01/26
Why lead time and MOQ vary
Lead time and MOQ depend on grade availability, tooling, machining complexity, and coating requirements.
Common drivers
- New tooling or magnetization fixtures.
- Complex shapes or tight tolerances.
- Specialized coatings or documentation needs.
- Volume ramp expectations.
How to reduce lead time risk
- Provide complete RFQ details upfront.
- Confirm whether standard sizes are acceptable.
- Align on inspection and documentation requirements early.
Planning tips
- Split pilot and production quantities.
- Build buffer for coatings and inspection.
- Ask for updated delivery milestones after sample approval.
