Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are frequently used in products that need very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 10x5x1.5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength ${capacity} kg which weighs only ${weight} grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers a lot of flexibility in arranging them in structures, 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, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, 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 exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets
Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are currently the strongest permanent magnets available on the market. Their exceptional magnetic properties make them suitable for various industries, technologies, and everyday life. Below are the key advantages:
- Immense attractive force: Even small neodymium magnets generate a very strong magnetic field.
- High coercivity: They are resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic fields.
- Wide operating temperature range: Standard neodymium magnets operate up to 80°C, with special versions up to 230°C.
- Variety of shapes and sizes: Available in many forms, making them easy to adapt to specific applications.
- Relatively low price compared to strength: They offer the best strength-to-price ratio among all magnets.
- Longevity: With proper use, they retain their magnetic properties for many years.
- Versatility of applications: From electric motors to speakers, separators, toys, and jewelry.
Despite numerous advantages, neodymium magnets also have certain disadvantages to consider:
- Brittleness: They are hard but brittle and prone to cracking or chipping upon impact.
- Limited operating temperature for standard versions: Above the Curie temperature, they lose their magnetic properties.
- Strong magnetic field can be dangerous: They can damage electronics, magnetic cards, and pose a risk of attracting metal objects with great force.
- Difficulties in mechanical processing: Due to their hardness and brittleness, processing them is complex.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength can surprise you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are extremely fragile, leading to shattering.
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. At the moment of connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to insert fingers between magnets or in their path when attract. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or there can be a severe pressure or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel allergy.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the 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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
