Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are regularly used in structures that need very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 100x40x20 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 99.89 kg weighing a mere 600 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often used in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength around ten years – the loss of power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the shiny silver coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- With the option for fine forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they are used in data storage devices, electric motors, medical equipment or even sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in compact constructions
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture while also increases its overall resistance,
- They lose power at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the family environments. Additionally, miniature parts from these assemblies can hinder health screening when ingested,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel allergy.
Studies clearly indicate a small percentage of people who suffer from metal allergies such as nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a significant injury may occur. Depending on how massive the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Neodymium magnetic are known for their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnetic are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been observed to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can surprise you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets should not be around youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
