Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- By applying a bright layer of silver, the element gains a clean look,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which increases their application range,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are used in hard drives, electric drives, medical equipment as well as technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also strengthens its overall resistance,
- They lose power at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss 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 degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of plastic,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the health of young users. Moreover, miniature parts from these products can hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
The given strength of the magnet corresponds to the optimal strength, determined under optimal conditions, specifically:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, by priority:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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.
* Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnetic are especially delicate, resulting in their breakage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable 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 are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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 damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious if you have an 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.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can shock you.
To use 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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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.
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.
Magnets will crack or crumble with careless joining to each other. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely strongly.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible 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.
