Shopping tips
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
- Because of the reflective layer of gold, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the magnetic form),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which broadens their application range,
- Key role in modern technologies – they find application in HDDs, rotating machines, medical equipment or even other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- 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 and additionally enhances its overall strength,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (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 advisable to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Possible threat from tiny pieces may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the protection of children. Moreover, minuscule fragments from these products can disrupt scanning once in the system,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost may not be economically viable,
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet represents the maximum lifting force, determined under optimal conditions, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with zero air gap
- under perpendicular detachment force
- under standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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 was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets made of neodymium are highly fragile, they easily fall apart as well as can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other 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 damage to the magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Neodymium magnets bounce and also clash mutually within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an allergy.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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 significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
