Shopping tips
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic noise,
- By applying a shiny layer of silver, the element gains a modern look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to form),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their usage potential,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus and sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them ideal in compact constructions
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time enhances its overall strength,
- They lose power at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is notable in the health of young users. Moreover, small elements from these magnets can disrupt scanning when ingested,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is considerably higher,
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
The given strength of the magnet means the optimal strength, measured under optimal conditions, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- under standard ambient temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by the following aspects, in descending order of importance:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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.
* Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
We Recommend Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can surprise you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Maintain neodymium magnets far from youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and also touch each other mutually within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious if you have an allergy.
Studies clearly indicate a small percentage of people who suffer from metal allergies such as 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.
Exercise caution!
