Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly applied in structures that require strong holding power.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 15x2x30 / N38 and a magnetic force 2.73 kg weighing a mere 6.75 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 needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators greater flexibility in placing 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 sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel 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 indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, 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 once this temperature is exceeded, 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 avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years, the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external field exposure,
- Because of the brilliant layer of gold, the component looks visually appealing,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- With the option for tailored forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in hard drives, electromechanical systems, clinical machines or even sophisticated instruments,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time reinforces its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose field strength when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s form). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we suggest waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the context of child safety. Furthermore, miniature parts from these magnets can interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost may not be economically viable,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as can easily break and get 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.
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 damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Magnets will crack or crumble with uncontrolled joining to each other. Remember not to move them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
While Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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.
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.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
