Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are regularly applied in products that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet with the designation MPL 12x10x4 / N38 and a magnetic force 3.46 kg which weighs just 3.6 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in various 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 mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- Thanks to the polished finish and nickel coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- With the option for fine forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in hard drives, electric drives, medical equipment and technologically developed systems,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time enhances its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss in performance (depending on size). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the protection of children. Furthermore, tiny components from these assemblies might hinder health screening when ingested,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is above average,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not controlled, then they may crumble and crack. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should have them very strongly.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
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.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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 are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power 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 are highly delicate, they easily fall apart and can crumble.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
