Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are regularly applied in structures that need exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 15x3x6 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 3.18 kg which weighs a mere 2.03 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often applied in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific project and requirements. In certain 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, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly 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. 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 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 avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They do not lose their even during approximately 10 years – the loss of strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from external magnetic fields,
- The use of a decorative silver surface provides a smooth finish,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- The ability for precise shaping or adjustment to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus or even other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also increases its overall durability,
- They lose power at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Safety concern from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the health of young users. It should also be noted that tiny components from these products may disrupt scanning if inside the body,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
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.
Keep neodymium magnets far from youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, 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.
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 are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can surprise you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the 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.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to put fingers between magnets or in their path when attract. Depending on how huge the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are highly delicate, they easily crack and can 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. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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.
