Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are commonly applied in devices that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 15x5x5 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 3.42 kg which weighs just 2.81 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often used in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting 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 a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, 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 ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength (of the magnet). After about 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by an external magnetic field,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element acquires an aesthetic appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve significant thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Key role in the industry of new technologies – are utilized in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices or very advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking as they are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a steel housing. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and simultaneously increases its overall strength,
- They lose strength at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss of strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- The use of a cover or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Possible danger to health from tiny fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally ingested, which becomes significant in the context of children's health. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets have the potential to be problematic in medical diagnosis after entering the body.
Safety Precautions
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity youngest children.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets produce intense 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. 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.
If you have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or even a fracture.
Neodymium magnetic are especially delicate, which leads to damage.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
