How to use neodymium magnets safely?
Advanced magnetics requires responsibility.
Working with neodymium magnets needs particular caution. Here we present key hazards that you must read before handling.
In short!
Respect the power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Pinching danger
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Adults only
These products are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Medical interference
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Compass and GPS
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Allergy Warning
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Machining danger
Dust produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
