Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- Because of the lustrous layer of silver, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- With the option for fine forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in new technology industries – they are utilized in data storage devices, electric motors, healthcare devices and high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and increases its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on shape). 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 plastic for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining fine details in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Safety concern linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the family environments. Additionally, minuscule fragments from these magnets may disrupt scanning once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are costlier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, calculated in ideal conditions, specifically:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- under standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is influenced by in practice the following factors, according to their importance:
- 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 measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety Guidelines with Neodymium Magnets
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Neodymium magnets bounce and touch each other mutually within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength can shock you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are 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 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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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 far from youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are especially fragile, which leads to their breakage.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
