Shopping tips
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They retain their magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external electromagnetic environments very well,
- By applying a bright layer of gold, the element gains a modern look,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- The ability for precise shaping or adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Significant impact in advanced technical fields – they find application in data storage devices, electric drives, healthcare devices or even other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time enhances its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss in performance (depending on height). 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 damp air can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a housing is recommended,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the health of young users. Moreover, small elements from these assemblies might hinder health screening if inside the body,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
The given pulling force of the magnet means the maximum force, calculated in a perfect environment, specifically:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- at room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
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, as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause 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 conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety Precautions
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce strong 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 damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can shock 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.
Neodymium magnets should not be around children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS 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 injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and also touch each other mutually within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are particularly delicate, resulting in shattering.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and will crack 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 connection between the magnets, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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.
