FAQs

What does N35 mean?

N35 refers to the grade of the neodymium magnet, indicating its magnetic strength. N35 is a common and strong grade suitable for many applications.

How do I prevent magnets from sticking together?

Store magnets separated by a non-magnetic material like plastic, cardboard, or wood. Alternatively, keep them in their original packaging if it provides separation.

Can these magnets be painted or coated?

Yes, they are already coated with a protective nickel-copper-nickel layer. If you need to paint them, ensure the surface is clean and use appropriate metal paints. However, painting may slightly reduce magnetic strength.

What is the maximum temperature these magnets can withstand?

These magnets are generally rated for use up to 80°C (176°F). Exceeding this temperature can lead to irreversible loss of magnetism.

Are these magnets safe for children?

No, due to their small size and strong magnetic force, these magnets are not suitable for children and should be kept out of reach.

How much weight can one magnet hold?

Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 0.51kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface.

Can I glue these magnets to surfaces?

Yes, strong adhesives like super glue (cyanoacrylate) or epoxy resins work well for attaching these magnets to various surfaces. Ensure both the magnet and the surface are clean before application.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding as expected

Ensure the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a clean, mild steel surface. Verify the steel surface is thick enough to fully saturate with the magnetic field. Check for any non-ferrous material between the magnet and the steel.

Magnet chipped or cracked

Handle magnets with extreme care. Avoid letting them snap forcefully onto other magnets or metal objects. If chipped, the magnet may lose some strength and should be replaced if performance is critical.

Magnet lost strength

Magnets can lose strength if exposed to high temperatures (above 80°C for these N35 grade magnets) or strong opposing magnetic fields. Store them properly and keep them away from heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely strong for their size, offering high performance.
  • Corrosion-resistant due to the triple nickel coating.
  • Versatile for both hobbyist and professional applications.
  • Compact dimensions make them easy to integrate into small designs.
  • Reliable holding power for secure attachments.

Cons

  • Can be brittle and chip or shatter if dropped or struck.
  • Strong magnetic force can cause them to snap together forcefully, posing a pinch hazard.
  • Requires careful handling and storage to prevent damage and loss of magnetism.
  • Not suitable for applications exposed to extreme heat, which can demagnetize them.
  • Small size means they can be a choking hazard for children.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These magnets require no setup; they are ready to use out of the package. Decide on the desired placement and adhere them using appropriate methods such as strong adhesives (epoxy, super glue) or by embedding them within materials. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive for optimal bond strength.

Compatibility: These magnets are compatible with most ferrous metals, particularly mild steel. They are also effective when used in conjunction with other magnets for repelling or attracting effects. Avoid prolonged contact with electronic devices like hard drives or credit cards, as the strong magnetic field can damage them.

Care: Handle with care to avoid chipping or cracking, especially when attracting or repelling other magnets. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally separated by plastic or cardboard to prevent them from snapping together. Keep away from heat sources, as high temperatures can weaken their magnetic strength. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives. Ensure they are kept away from children.
