Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even after approximately ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of detailed shaping and modifying to precise conditions,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at temperature room level
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Machining danger
Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Safe operation
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Nickel coating and allergies
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
Maximum temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Eye protection
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Protect data
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Keep away from children
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
GPS Danger
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
