Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are regularly used in structures that need very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet named MPL 200x30x30 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 183.51 kg weighing only 1350 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, 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 shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- Their power is durable, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields remarkably well,
- In other words, due to the metallic gold coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- With the option for customized forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they are utilized in data storage devices, electric motors, medical equipment as well as other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time increases its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose power when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s profile). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a wet environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using moisture-resistant 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 complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the protection of children. It should also be noted that small elements from these assemblies might complicate medical imaging if inside the body,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, assessed under optimal conditions, namely:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- in conditions of no clearance
- with vertical force applied
- under standard ambient temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by these factors, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
- Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
- Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
- Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
- Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
- Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.
* Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnetic are especially fragile, resulting in their breakage.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong 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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
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.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a significant injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a serious pressure or a fracture.
