Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly applied in structures that need very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 12.5x12.5x5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 4.94 kg with a weight of only 5.86 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in many devices, such as 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 there's a need to attach the magnet to another 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 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 depends on the specific application 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 interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
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 navigational instruments, credit cards and even 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.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time. After approximately 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources extremely well,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Wide application in advanced technologically fields – are used in hard drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical equipment or very advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break as they are extremely fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a metal holder. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- Magnets lose their strength due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent loss in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the shape and size of the magnet). To avoid this problem, we offer special magnets marked with the [AH] symbol, which exhibit high temperature resistance. They can operate even at temperatures as high as 230°C or more,
- Due to their susceptibility to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials when using them outdoors,
- The use of a cover or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk arising from small pieces of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the context of children's health. Additionally, miniscule components of these devices have the potential to be problematic in medical diagnosis after entering the body.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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.
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 is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Neodymium magnets bounce and clash mutually within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Neodymium magnets are highly susceptible to damage, leading to their cracking.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. 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 collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
