Why do magnets break?

You may have experienced your magnets being destroyed by a hard impact or received a magnet with a piece missing.

< em>Conclusion: Our magnets break because they are so strong.

A power magnet cannot withstand colliding with another power magnet, so they break. Our neodymium magnets are of high quality, so it is rarely due to a manufacturing error. We can explain that a little more in the following.

What causes the magnet to break?

Two magnets colliding: Basically, both magnets have a north and south pole . Here both magnets are surrounded by a magnetic field and can exert force within the magnetic field. When one magnet comes close to the other magnet, the two magnetic fields will begin to interact. This is where things go wrong when both magnets start exerting their power. The result is that the magnets collide and parts of them can break.

The magnet is dropped: If you drop a magnet on the floor or your package with the magnets has been dropped some times you may also experience that the magnet breaks. This is because the magnets cannot withstand hard shocks or impacts – which many other things would rather not do.

How do I prevent the magnets from breaking?

There are a few precautions you can take to avoid ending up with broken magnets.

• Two strong power magnets should preferably not lie too close to each other, if they are not wrapped in e.g. bubble wrap or the magnets are already assembled north pole to south pole.
• If possible, avoid dropping your magnets

How do I separate two magnets without the magnets breaking?

If you need to separate two magnets that are stuck together, it is recommended to use a table edge. Here you can carefully push the two magnets apart with your hand. It can be difficult to separate two strong magnets by hand, so this method of using the edge of the table will be the best. Now put the magnets mine. 15-20 cm. from each other so that you avoid the two magnetic fields affecting each other. Power magnets must always be handled with care, as your fingers and hands can be injured by strong magnets.

What do I do if my magnet is broken?

It does happen. , that magnets have broken during transport, then we will probably have to send you a new magnet free of charge. Feel free to contact our customer service and we will find a solution.
