Strong NdFeB Neodymium Magnets Hazards Strong Neodymium magnets (NdFeB) are very useful but they are not without danger. So before operating the magnet, please read the hazards of neodymium magnets and remember that safety comes first! Risk of Cracking or Chipping Neodymium magnets are super strong. If you bring two magnets close to each other, [...]
Magnet Common Sense As we all know, magnets are very useful in our daily life. To let those who are new to the world of magnets have a better understanding of them, in this article, we’ll introduce some common sense of magnets. A Brief History of Magnets The ancient Greeks and Chinese discovered a naturally [...]
Ferrite Magnets Replace Rare-earths in EV Motor Yaskawa says it has developed an electric vehicle (EV) motor that avoids the need for neodymium magnets, using much cheaper and easier-to-obtain ferrite magnets instead. The development is intended to reduce the company’s dependence on rare-earth materials, such as neodymium and dysprosium, whose prices have fluctuated widely in [...]
Magnets for Motor Applications Magnets and Assemblies from MPCO Magnetic Products can be found in many types of motors, generators, and actuators. Rare Earth magnets (Samarium Cobalt and Neodymium), or ferrite (ceramic) magnets can be used in magnetic motor and vehicle magnet applications. Rare Earth magnets are typically two to three times stronger than ferrite [...]
Magnetic Applications Package Closure Magnets Design Considerations In addition to your physical and design aesthetic requirements, we'll want to know the closure retention force in order to determine whether two magnets or one magnet with a steel disc or strike plate should be used. Air Gap (the space between the magnets or steel receptive piece) [...]
Use Rare Earth Magnets Outdoors Lanthanide components are ferromagnetic metals. This implies that they the ability to be charged much the same as iron. Be that as it may, their curie temperatures (the temperature at which they lose their attraction) are normally underneath the typical room temperature. This illustrates why rare magnets are not suitable [...]
Handling Neodymium Magnets Safety Precaution With high intrinsic coercive force (Hci) over 12,000 Oe and maximum energy product ((BH)max) between 27-52 MGOe, neodymium magnets have the greatest strength among all available permanent magnet materials (>7 times stronger than ceramic magnets) as they are extremely resistant to demagnetization and have high saturation of magnetization. The magnetization [...]
How to Select NdFeB Powerful Magnets With the development of science and technology, Nd-Fe-B magnets are more and more widely used in the industry, such as high-speed aircraft, energy vehicles, electronic digital and so on. The increasing demand for magnet manufacturers is also increasing, which makes the market of magnets become a mess, fish eye [...]
Select Material Grades for Neodymium Magnets When you are trying to figure out which neodymium magnets to select for your design needs, you would always see the term “grade” or “N rating” from any supplier or manufacturer. Besides a few other criteria, desired material grade must be defined for a neodymium magnet. So, what does [...]
Select Magnet Materials from MPCO Magnets ( Neodymium, NdFeB Magnets, SmCo, Alnico, Ceramic Magnets and others ) When choosing a magnet material to be incorporated into your specific application, their properties need to be identified and compared to correctly evaluate their functional workability and economic feasibility. Design engineers should consider the magnetic requirement, physical requirement, [...]
Recycling Neodymium Magnets Industrial neodymium magnets have become a critical part of our daily life and an important contributor to many advanced technology development. Majority of this rare-earth element is mined in China from monazite ((Nd, La, Ce)PO4) and bastnaesite (Ca(Ce, La, Nd)2(CO3)3 F2) ores; however, the mining and extraction processes can be expansive, complex [...]
Various shapes Magnets Magnetization Orientation Neodymium, ceramic, samarium cobalt magnets can be custom-made in various shapes, sizes and magnetization orientations or directions. In this article, we list out and illustrate some of the available options for magnetization orientation which is defined during pressing process and prior to magnetization. Of course, engineers can always request otherwise [...]
