Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by surrounding electromagnetic environments remarkably well,
- By applying a shiny layer of nickel, the element gains a clean look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to form),
- The ability for accurate shaping or adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in HDDs, rotating machines, medical equipment and technologically developed systems,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in compact dimensions, which allows for use in compact constructions
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and enhances its overall durability,
- They lose magnetic force at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline 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,
- They rust in a damp environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the family environments. It should also be noted that tiny components from these products might hinder health screening once in the system,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is above average,
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet means the maximum lifting force, assessed in the best circumstances, 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
- with zero air gap
- with vertical force applied
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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 assessed using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety Precautions
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength 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.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant swellings.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to put fingers between magnets or alternatively in their path when attract. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or there can be a significant pressure or a fracture.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnetic are fragile and can easily break as well as get damaged.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. 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 can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
