Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their even during around ten years – the decrease of strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic fields very well,
- In other words, due to the glossy nickel coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- With the right combination of compounds, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they are utilized in data storage devices, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus along with high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture while also increases its overall resistance,
- They lose magnetic force at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a humid environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the health of young users. Furthermore, tiny components from these magnets may hinder health screening if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially fragile, resulting in damage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
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 swellings.
Magnets will crack or alternatively crumble with careless connecting to each other. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise you.
