Shopping tips
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is notable,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and silver coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the geometry),
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Important function in modern technologies – they find application in data storage devices, rotating machines, medical equipment along with other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They may fracture when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also increases its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible power drop (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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, miniature parts from these magnets have the potential to disrupt scanning when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet corresponds to the maximum lifting force, assessed under optimal conditions, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
Practical lifting force is dependent on elements, by priority:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause 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 testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated 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. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Neodymium magnets will jump and also clash together within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy 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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their strength can shock you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
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 magnetic are fragile and can easily break as well as get damaged.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. 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.
Exercise caution!
