Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are regularly used in products that need very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 10x7x3 / N38 and a magnetic force 1.98 kg with a weight of just 1.58 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, reducing 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 some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on 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. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They retain their magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic nickel coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for accurate shaping and adjustment to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Important function in new technology industries – they serve a purpose in computer drives, rotating machines, medical equipment along with high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time increases its overall resistance,
- They lose power at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline 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,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we suggest waterproof types made of plastic,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the context of child safety. Moreover, small elements from these assemblies might complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is relatively high,
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet represents the highest holding force, assessed in the best circumstances, that is:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a smooth surface
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice key elements, from primary to secondary:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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.
* Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance 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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly fragile, they easily fall apart as well as can crumble.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. 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 are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an 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.
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 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 attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
It is essential to keep neodymium magnets out of reach 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 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
