Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even over around 10 years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to modify to unusual requirements,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they are used in data components, brushless drives, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an polished contact surface
- with direct contact (no paint)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.
Heat sensitivity
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Choking Hazard
Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
