Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that need very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their durability.
The magnet named MPL 15x5x5 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 3.42 kg which weighs just 2.81 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their 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 allows designers greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which can be 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 sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In certain 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. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, 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. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and gold coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they are used in computer drives, electric drives, medical equipment along with technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and enhances its overall durability,
- They lose power at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a damp environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Safety concern linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the protection of children. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these magnets can hinder health screening once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnetic are highly fragile, they easily break as well as can become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard 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.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant injuries.
Magnets will crack or crumble with careless joining to each other. Remember not to move them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
