Magnet Safety Tips

  • These magnet safey tips are for all personnel who may use magnetized permanent magnets and magnetic assemblies.
  • People with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators or other medical devices should avoid being near the magnets.
  • People with steel implants, like joint replacement implants, should avoid being near the magnets.
  • Pick off watch or jewelry which containing iron and steel when close to magnets.

Special instructions

  1. Magnets are fragile and should be handled carefully to avoid chips and breaks.
  2. Improper use of magnet will cause bodily harm, especially hands and skin.
  3. Do not attempt to disassemble any magnetized magnetic assemblies.
  4. Magnetic part should avoid being near the ferrous materials.
  5. Always wear protective glasses and gloves when handling magnets.
  6. Magnets and magnetic assemblies must only be installed or removed by professional personnel.

Demagnetization

  1. High Temperature, mechanical stress, and magnetic field can cause demagnetization.
  2. Magnets should to store in their original packaging with a relatively cool and dry environment.
  3. Alnico magnet is easy to demagnetization, and need to avoid contacting with opposing magnetic fields.

Shipment items

  1. Magnetized material can be shipped by land, water and air.
  2. Air shipment need to be in accordance with regulations.

Special concerns

  1. Magnets need to be kept away from sensitive electronic devices.
  2. Persons with pacemakers or implants should stay clear.
  3. Disks, credit card, tapes can be erased from contact with magnetic field.
  4. If you have specific packaging needs, please contact with SDM Magnetics.
