Shopping tips

Cylindrical Neodymium Magnets min. MW 12x4 / N38 are magnets created of neodymium in a cylindrical shape. They are known for their very strong magnetic properties, which exceed traditional ferrite magnets. Thanks to their power, they are often employed in products that need strong adhesion. The standard temperature resistance of such magnets is 80°C, but for cylindrical magnets, this temperature increases with the growth of the magnet. Additionally, various special coatings, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, are frequently applied to the surface of neodymium magnets to enhance their resistance to corrosion. The shape of a cylinder is as well one of the most popular among neodymium magnets. The magnet named MW 12x4 / N38 with a magnetic force 2.65 kg has a weight of only 3.39 grams.
Cylindrical neodymium magnets, also known as Nd2Fe14B, represent the strongest known material for magnet production. Their production process requires a specialized approach and includes melting special neodymium alloys along with other metals such as iron and boron. After appropriate processing, such as heat and mechanical treatment, the magnets are made available for use in varied applications, such as electric motors, audio-video equipment, and in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of epoxy to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, which requires special caution during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.

In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, they can distort data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not guaranteed.
Regarding the purchase of cylindrical neodymium magnets, several enterprises offer such products. One of the suggested suppliers is our company Dhit, located in Ożarów Mazowiecki, the address is available directly in the contact tab. It is recommended to visit the website for the latest information and offers, and before visiting, please call.
Due to their power, cylindrical neodymium magnets are very practical in various applications, they can also pose certain dangers. Because of their strong magnetic power, they can pull metallic objects with significant force, which can lead to damaging skin and other materials, especially fingers. Do not use neodymium magnets near equipment or data storage devices, such as credit cards, as they can damage these devices in terms of magnetic recording. Furthermore, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments, thus they are coated with a thin e.g., nickel layer. Generally, although they are handy, one should handle them carefully.
Neodymium magnets, with the formula neodymium-iron-boron, are currently the strongest available magnets on the market. They are produced through a advanced sintering process, which involves melting specific alloys of neodymium with additional metals and then forming and heat treating. Their unmatched magnetic strength comes from the specific production technology and chemical composition.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as gold, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a deterioration of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
A neodymium magnet with classification N50 and N52 is a strong and powerful magnetic product designed as a cylinder, providing strong holding power and broad usability. Very good price, fast shipping, stability and multi-functionality.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish and silver coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
  • They possess strong magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
  • Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
  • With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
  • Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in hard drives, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices or even other advanced devices,
  • Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

  • They may fracture when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and strengthens its overall durability,
  • High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline 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,
  • They rust in a moist environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of polymer,
  • Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
  • Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the family environments. Moreover, miniature parts from these products can complicate medical imaging when ingested,
  • In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The given strength of the magnet corresponds to the optimal strength, assessed under optimal conditions, specifically:

  • using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
  • of a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with a refined outer layer
  • in conditions of no clearance
  • in a perpendicular direction of force
  • under standard ambient temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Practical lifting force is determined by elements, listed from the most critical to the less significant:

  • 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.

* Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions

Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.

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 demagnetize at high temperatures.

Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.

Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful 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.

Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.

Magnets may crack or crumble with uncontrolled connecting to each other. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely strongly.

 Keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.

Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.

Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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.

Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.

Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.

The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.

Neodymium magnets are highly susceptible to damage, leading to their cracking.

Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.

Neodymium magnets should not be near 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.

Safety precautions!

So you are aware of why neodymium magnets are so dangerous, see the article titled How very dangerous are powerful neodymium magnets?.
