Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in products that need strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 10x5x1.5 / N38 and a magnetic force 0.84 kg which weighs only 0.56 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often used in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can 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 given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
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, credit cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their strength is durable, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields effectively,
- The use of a mirror-like silver surface provides a smooth finish,
- They possess intense magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which increases their application range,
- Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they are used in HDDs, electric motors, medical equipment as well as other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage , and at the same time enhances its overall strength,
- They lose field intensity at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we suggest waterproof types made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the health of young users. Furthermore, small elements from these devices can interfere with diagnostics after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, determined in the best circumstances, namely:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a polished side
- with no separation
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, according to their importance:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
- Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
- Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
- Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
- Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
- Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.
* Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, leading to their cracking.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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.
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.
