Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are regularly applied in structures that need very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x10x18 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 28.43 kg which weighs only 54 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often applied in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- The use of a polished silver surface provides a refined finish,
- They possess intense magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which broadens their application range,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they are used in hard drives, rotating machines, medical equipment as well as technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also strengthens its overall strength,
- Magnets lose power when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible power drop (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a humid environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the protection of children. It should also be noted that tiny components from these devices have the potential to disrupt scanning once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
The given strength of the magnet means the optimal strength, measured in ideal conditions, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- in conditions of no clearance
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
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) 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 carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to 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.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can shock you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnetic are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
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 fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
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, or other devices. They can also damage 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 should not be near 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away 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.
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.
Exercise caution!
