Our magnet discs are the strongest and most powerful grade of commercially available Neodymium magnets which have the capacity to hold up to 8.5 pounds of weight – thus letting you hang/hold an impressive amount of load despite its coin-like small size. Material Neodymium Shape Round Number of Pieces 12.
How strong is a neodymium magnet?
Neodymium magnets are over 10x stronger than the strongest ceramic magnets. If you are currently using ceramic magnets in your project, you could probably use a much smaller neodymium magnet and have greater holding force.
What magnet is stronger than neodymium?
First of all, the Iron Nitride is more powerful than Neodymium magnet (Neodymium magnet). The costs of Nitrogen and Iron are very low compared to rare earth magnets. It is possible to produce Iron Nitride Magnet with production techniques currently used.
How much can a neodymium magnet lift?
Pull Force: 200.0 pounds.
Does neodymium lose their strength?
Very little. If they are properly handled, which includes not overheated or physically damaged, our neodymium magnets will lose less than 1 percent of their strength over 10 years. This is not enough to notice without very sensitive measuring equipment.
Why are Neodymium magnets illegal?
That is, until 2012, when the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned them. It turns out that they’re a big hazard to small children, who would often eat them. The balls would attract each other inside the digestive tract, causing massive damage and requiring surgery to remove.
Do Neodymium magnets break easily?
Neodymium magnets are brittle – and can easily shatter and break. Neodymium magnets are brittle and will peel, chip, crack or shatter if allowed to slam together, even from just a few inches apart. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel-plating, they are not as hard as steel.
Can you drill through a neodymium magnet?
drilling (or sawing) of neodymium magnets is absolutely not recommended. First of all, the material is brittle and fragile. Secondly, drilling causes combustible dust and, thirdly, the heat caused by the drill can possibly demagnetize the material. Drilling can cause them to shatter and break.
Is there an alternative to neodymium?
Instead of neodymium or dysprosium, the magnet uses less-expensive rare-earth metals lanthanum and cerium. The company says that simply replacing the neodymium in a magnet with lanthanum and cerium results in a sub-par magnet with reduced coercivity and reduced heat resistance, meaning motor performance will suffer.
Can you demagnetize a neodymium magnet?
You can demagnetize them by heating them to the Curie temperature, but that may be inconveniently high, e.g. 350°C. Another option is to heat to some lower temperature and apply a smaller ac field than would be needed at room temperature.
How long does neodymium magnet last?
How long will a neodymium magnet last? Neodymium magnets are permanent magnets, and lose a fraction of their performance every 100 years if maintained within their optimum working conditions.
Is neodymium a rare earth magnet?
Rare earth magnets are the strongest permanent magnets available and have significantly higher performance than ferrite (ceramic) and alnico magnets. There are two types of rare earth magnet materials – Neodymium (Nd-Fe-B) and Samarium Cobalt (SmCo). These magnets tend to be brittle and are vulnerable to corrosion.
How much weight can a N52 neodymium magnet hold?
This magnet can hold up to 10 lbs under ideal conditions, and their grade N52 neodymium material makes them the strongest magnets of their size commercially available.
Are thicker neodymium magnets stronger?
Neodymium (more precisely Neodymium-Iron-Boron) magnets are the strongest permanent magnets in the world. For example, if you stacked two of our 1/8″ thick D82 disc magnets to form a 1/4″ thick stack, the two magnets would have about the same magnetic strength as the 1/4″ thick D84 discs.
Do magnets work better hot or cold?
In general, magnets perform better in cold environments than in hot environments. Extreme heat typically leads to a loss of magnetic strength. If the ambient temperature goes above a certain point, called the maximum operating temperature, the magnet may permanently lose some of its strength.
Do neodymium magnets weaken over time?
Do magnets weaken over time? Yes, magnets do weaken over time, but depending on the affection on it, it will retain it’s magnetism essentially forever. If you store permanent magnets correct, neodymium magnets will likely lose less than 1% of their flux density over 100 years.
What happened Bucky Balls?
Q: What happened to Buckyballs? Maxfield & Oberton, the original Buckyballs company, was brought to an end in May 2014, upon the settlement of unprecedented proceedings brought forth from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Can magnets damage the brain?
Summary: Prolonged exposure to low-level magnetic fields, similar to those emitted by such common household devices as blow dryers, electric blankets and razors, can damage brain cell DNA, according to researchers in the University of Washington’s Department of Bioengineering.
Is neodymium poisonous?
Ingested neodymium salts are regarded as only slightly toxic if they are soluble and non toxic if they are insoluble. Neodymium is mostly dangerous in the working environment, due to the fact that damps and gasses can be inhaled with air. This can cause lung embolisms, especially during long-term exposure.
Why are neodymium magnets so expensive?
Neodymium magnets can be made very large or big and so their magnetic fields are extremely strong. That is so strong, that it becomes almost impossible to attach a large magnet to any other magnet or any metal based object. And combining the two “beefy” or the large magnets with one another are very difficult.
What shape of magnet is strongest?
The strongest part of a magnet is concentrated at the poles. That is why a horseshoe shape is considered the strongest and can be very useful to create if you want to lift heavy objects or want to make a bar magnet stronger.
Can neodymium magnets damage laptops?
Put simply, no – a magnet can not harm your laptop. A magnet could wipe out your laptop’s hard drive, but it would take an extremely powerful magnet to do so.
