Shopping tips
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
- The use of a mirror-like silver surface provides a smooth finish,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for accurate shaping as well as adjustment to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Key role in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electric motors, healthcare devices and sophisticated instruments,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also enhances its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s profile). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a moist environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the context of child safety. Moreover, miniature parts from these products may disrupt scanning if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet corresponds to the highest holding force, assessed under optimal conditions, namely:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- under standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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.
* Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
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 is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel allergy.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are noted for being fragile, which can cause them to become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are fragile and will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can shock you.

Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and also touch each other mutually within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
