Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their power approximately ten years – the reduction of lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- By applying a bright layer of gold, the element gains a sleek look,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- With the option for tailored forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they are used in HDDs, electric drives, medical equipment as well as technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and reinforces its overall resistance,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline in performance (depending on shape). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the health of young users. Additionally, miniature parts from these products may interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, assessed in a perfect environment, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by the following aspects, from crucial to less important:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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.
* Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
Neodymium magnets will bounce and also clash together within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an allergy.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including 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.
Neodymium magnets should not be near 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their strength can surprise you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly fragile, they easily crack and can crumble.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. 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.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
