FAQs

What is a Neodymium magnet?

A Neodymium magnet is a type of permanent magnet made from an alloy of Neodymium, Iron, and Boron (NdFeB). They are known as 'rare earth' magnets and are among the strongest types of permanent magnets available.

How much weight can these magnets hold?

Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 0.51kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface. This is known as the 'pull force' and can vary based on conditions.

What does 'corrosion-resistant premium coating' mean?

It means the magnets are coated with three layers (nickel, copper, nickel) to protect them from rust and corrosion, extending their lifespan and maintaining their appearance.

Are these magnets safe to use near electronics?

It is recommended to keep strong magnets like Neodymium away from sensitive electronic devices, credit cards, magnetic media, and medical devices like pacemakers due to their strong magnetic fields.

Can I stick these magnets to my refrigerator?

Yes, if your refrigerator door is made of steel. The magnets will adhere to any ferrous metal surface.

What is the best way to store these magnets?

Store them in a cool, dry place, separated by non-magnetic material (like cardboard or plastic) or with their opposite poles facing each other if stored in strips, to prevent them from snapping together. Avoid storing them near heat sources.

What happens if two magnets snap together forcefully?

Forcefully snapping strong magnets together can cause them to chip, break, or even shatter due to the immense force. Handle them with care and control.

Troubleshooting

Magnets not holding as expected

Ensure the steel surface is clean, flat, and free from paint or rust. Check for any air gap between the magnet and the surface. Verify the object being attracted is sufficiently ferrous.

Magnets feel weaker over time

Ensure magnets are stored correctly, away from high temperatures and strong opposing magnetic fields. Verify the coating is intact and not significantly corroded.

Magnets chipped or broken

Neodymium magnets can be brittle. Handle them carefully, especially when bringing them close to other magnets or metal surfaces, to avoid impact. Broken magnets can still be functional but may have sharp edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely strong for their size.
  • Durable triple-layer nickel coating resists corrosion.
  • Excellent resistance to demagnetisation.
  • Versatile for both creative and technical applications.
  • Precise dimensions for detailed work.

Cons

  • Can be brittle if mishandled.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid pinching fingers.
  • Small size can be a challenge for some gripping applications.
  • Holding power can be affected by air gaps or surface imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These magnets require no specific setup. Simply place them on a ferrous surface or use them to attract other magnets or ferrous objects.

Compatibility:

  • Magnetic Surfaces: Compatible with any ferrous metal surface (steel, iron).
  • Other Magnets: Can be stacked or arranged to combine magnetic fields. Be aware of strong attraction forces when handling multiple magnets.
  • Electronics: Keep magnets away from sensitive electronic devices, magnetic storage media, and pacemakers.

Care:

  • Handling: Handle with care to avoid pinching skin between magnets or between a magnet and a metal surface. Store magnets with spacers or in a way that prevents them from snapping together forcefully.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents which could damage the coating.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can weaken magnetism. Keep away from strong magnetic fields that could alter their orientation.
