Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in devices that require very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 15x10x2 / N38 and a lifting capacity of ${capacity} kg with a weight of just ${weight} grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often applied in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to some 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 more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting 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 certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, 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 perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size 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 once this temperature is exceeded, 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. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets
Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are currently the strongest permanent magnets available on the market. Their exceptional magnetic properties make them suitable for various industries, technologies, and everyday life. Below are the key advantages:
- Immense attractive force: Even small neodymium magnets generate a very strong magnetic field.
- High coercivity: They are resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic fields.
- Wide operating temperature range: Standard neodymium magnets operate up to 80°C, with special versions up to 230°C.
- Variety of shapes and sizes: Available in many forms, making them easy to adapt to specific applications.
- Relatively low price compared to strength: They offer the best strength-to-price ratio among all magnets.
- Longevity: With proper use, they retain their magnetic properties for many years.
- Versatility of applications: From electric motors to speakers, separators, toys, and jewelry.
Despite numerous advantages, neodymium magnets also have certain disadvantages to consider:
- Brittleness: They are hard but brittle and prone to cracking or chipping upon impact.
- Limited operating temperature for standard versions: Above the Curie temperature, they lose their magnetic properties.
- Strong magnetic field can be dangerous: They can damage electronics, magnetic cards, and pose a risk of attracting metal objects with great force.
- Difficulties in mechanical processing: Due to their hardness and brittleness, processing them is complex.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
In the case of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly susceptible to damage, resulting in shattering.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious if you have an 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their strength can surprise 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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
