Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are regularly used in structures that need exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 10x10x4 / N38 and a magnetic strength 3.16 kg with a weight of a mere 3 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often used in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding 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, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They retain their full power for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic influence remarkably well,
- By applying a shiny layer of silver, the element gains a clean look,
- They possess intense magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which broadens their application range,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in hard drives, electric drives, clinical machines and technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also strengthens its overall strength,
- They lose field intensity at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a humid environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is significant in the context of child safety. Additionally, miniature parts from these devices can hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is relatively high,
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their strength can surprise you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are known for their fragility, which can cause them to crumble.
Neodymium magnetic are fragile and will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
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 major injury may occur. Depending on how huge the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Keep neodymium magnets away from children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
