Frequently asked questions about neodymium magnets
What is a neodymium magnet?
Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets in the world. They consist of an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB). Despite their small size, they generate a very strong magnetic field.
What are neodymium magnets used for?
Neodymium magnets are used in electric motors, loudspeakers, magnetic boards, model making, household and industrial applications. Their versatility makes them indispensable in many industries.
Are neodymium magnets dangerous?
Yes, due to their enormous adhesive strength, they can pinch skin or fingers. They should also be kept away from children. Caution is also advised near electronic devices.
How strong is a neodymium magnet?
The adhesive force depends on size and shape. A small neodymium magnet with a diameter of 1 cm can hold up to 10 kg. Large industrial versions are significantly stronger.
What types of neodymium magnets are there?
They are available in many shapes: discs, blocks, rings, spheres, rods, and special shapes for technical applications. Custom designs are also possible.
Are neodymium magnets weatherproof or rustproof?
Standard neodymium magnets are not corrosion-resistant. They require coatings such as nickel, zinc, or epoxy. We offer special waterproof versions for outdoor use.
