Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even after approximately ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of precise forming and customization to custom projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Protective goggles
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Metal Allergy
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.
Flammability
Dust created during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Thermal limits
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
Product not for children
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
