Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which increases their usage potential,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in data storage devices, electromechanical systems, medical equipment or even other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and strengthens its overall robustness,
- 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the health of young users. It should also be noted that small elements from these magnets have the potential to complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet means the maximum lifting force, determined in ideal conditions, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, in descending order of importance:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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 was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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.
In the situation of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets generate intense 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength can surprise you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent disruption to the magnets.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and can easily crack and get damaged.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. 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.
