Shopping tips
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years, the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- Thanks to the polished finish and silver coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- They possess intense magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for precise shaping and adjustment to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus or even sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in tiny dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and additionally enhances its overall resistance,
- They lose field intensity at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the health of young users. Furthermore, small elements from these magnets may hinder health screening if inside the body,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
The given strength of the magnet corresponds to the optimal strength, determined in the best circumstances, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Key elements affecting lifting force
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- 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.
* Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that 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.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
Neodymium magnets bounce and clash mutually within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can surprise you.
To handle magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Neodymium magnetic are highly susceptible to damage, resulting in breaking.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
