Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are frequently used in products that need strong holding power.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet with the designation MPL 17x17x3 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 4.03 kg which weighs a mere 6.5 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often used in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers a lot of 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 may provide better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic influence remarkably well,
- In other words, due to the shiny silver coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- The ability for accurate shaping as well as adaptation to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Wide application in new technology industries – they are used in hard drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices as well as technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks , and at the same time increases its overall durability,
- Magnets lose power when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s structure). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a moist environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is important in the health of young users. Furthermore, minuscule fragments from these assemblies have the potential to hinder health screening when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, they easily fall apart and 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.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to 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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
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 will bounce and also clash together within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
