Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly applied in structures that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet named MPL 15x5x5 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 3.42 kg with a weight of just 2.81 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
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 magnets are often utilized in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators a lot of flexibility in placing them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can provide better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. 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. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It should be noted 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 compasses, credit cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by surrounding electromagnetic environments very well,
- By applying a reflective layer of silver, the element gains a clean look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which increases their application range,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they serve a purpose in HDDs, rotating machines, medical equipment along with other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also increases its overall strength,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency 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 humidity can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we suggest waterproof types made of rubber,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the protection of children. Additionally, minuscule fragments from these assemblies can hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive 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 away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
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.
Neodymium magnets will jump and contact together within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnetic are fragile as well as can easily break as well as shatter.
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.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
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.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength 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 disruption to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought 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.
