Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that need exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 12.5x12.5x5 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 4.94 kg which weighs a mere 5.86 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's 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 creators greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
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 under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time. After 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) 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 various forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Significant importance in modern technologies – find application in HDD drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus and other highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and at the same time 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 form 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,
- They rust in a humid environment - during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- 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 are risky, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the aspect of protecting young children. Additionally, small elements of these devices have the potential to complicate diagnosis after entering the body.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
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 have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or a fracture.
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.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought 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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can destroy 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are known for their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
