Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields very well,
- Because of the lustrous layer of nickel, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for precise shaping as well as customization to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in computer drives, electric drives, medical equipment as well as high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and strengthens its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss in performance (depending on size). 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 wet environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining fine details in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is important in the family environments. Furthermore, tiny components from these devices may complicate medical imaging when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
The given strength of the magnet means the optimal strength, measured in ideal conditions, that is:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with zero air gap
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by the following aspects, from crucial to less important:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since 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 using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their power can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
In the case of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets out of reach from youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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 severe injuries, and even death.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Magnets made of neodymium are known for their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
Neodymium magnets are delicate as well as will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
