Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the option of precise shaping and customization to unique needs, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Caution required
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Nickel allergy
Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.
Material brittleness
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Combustion hazard
Dust generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Do not give to children
These products are not toys. Eating multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
