Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient electromagnetic environments very well,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a refined finish,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in data storage devices, electromechanical systems, clinical machines as well as technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and enhances its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline in performance (depending on size). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the limitations in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is important in the protection of children. It should also be noted that tiny components from these products can complicate medical imaging when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, measured under optimal conditions, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
Practical lifting force is dependent on elements, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
- Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
- Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
- Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
- Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
- Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.
* Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
Studies clearly indicate a small percentage of people who suffer from metal allergies such as nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnetic are particularly fragile, resulting in damage.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Neodymium magnets jump and touch each other mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
While Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
