Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
- Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the potential of flexible forming and customization to individualized needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with zero gap (no coatings)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Fire risk
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Sensitization to coating
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Powerful field
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Pinching danger
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Keep away from children
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
