Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have constant strength, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- Because of the reflective layer of silver, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their application range,
- Wide application in new technology industries – they are utilized in computer drives, rotating machines, medical equipment or even sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and reinforces its overall durability,
- 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining fine details in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Possible threat due to small fragments may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the family environments. Furthermore, tiny components from these devices may disrupt scanning once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, calculated under optimal conditions, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- under standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
Practical lifting force is dependent on factors, by priority:
- 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.
* Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as can easily break and shatter.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not controlled, then they may crumble and also crack. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should have them extremely firmly.
Warning!
