Tips for Buying Your Neodymium Magnets

1. Tips for Buying Your Neodymium Magnets Neodymium magnets are amazing – super strong, compact and versatile. Without neodymium magnets, the technological world as we know it would be very different. Neodymium magnets have helped revolutionist consumer electronics – things like our smartphones and smart televisions, audio equipment, medical devices, many renewable energy developments, electric vehicles. Neodymium magnets are found in a vast array of devices, industries and processes that make our everyday lives easier. But neodymium magnets are not indestructible, and like any precious item, they should be properly cared for. With a few simple considerations, you will get the most out of your neodymium magnets for many years. What Are Neodymium Magnets? Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets available, offering remarkable strength in a compact size. They are composed of neodymium, iron and boron, and are classified as one of the rare earth magnets, along with samarium cobalt magnets. Neodymium magnets are used in an astonishing range of industries and applications because they deliver powerful magnetic strength, packed into relatively small dimensions. So, what exactly is a rare earth? Rare earths are a group of 17 elements found in the earth's crust. These elements are not rare, but they are dispersed among other commonly found minerals and are difficult to extract in the mining process. In the 1960s, the magnetic properties of rare earths were discovered and by the 1980s, rare earth magnets were being commercially produced. Neodymium and samarium cobalt magnets transformed the design and manufacture of an enormous range of devices, and that technological development continues today. How Can I Buy Neodymium Magnets? The best site for purchasing Neodymium magnets is through one of Australia's leading magnet suppliers, Frenergy. There are some important factors to consider before deciding which magnet is right for your project, and expert advice will make sure you get the right magnet for the job. We have a team of experts on hand, and we can guide you through the process. Neodymium magnets come in an enormous range of shapes, sizes and strengths. There are disc magnets, ring magnets, spheres, blocks, cubes, tape and sheets. The strength of each magnet also varies. That strength is measured by what is known as the Gauss measurement, which ranges from N35 to N52. The higher the number, the stronger the magnet. Frenergy team members will be happy to explain just what strength magnet you need for your job.

2. The weight of each magnet varies enormously as well, with some weighing less than a gram and others big enough to securely hold 100kg or more. In fact, it is the hold or pull force, that is the determining factor when you choose your magnet. What is the weight of the item your magnet will be holding? You may be surprised by the pull force of some magnets that are not much bigger than a paper clip.
