Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that require very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
Additionally, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 20x10x1 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 1.12 kg weighing just 1.5 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use 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 different. 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. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size 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. 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 navigational instruments, magnetic stripe 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 immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time - after about 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization caused by external magnetic field very well,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the option of accurate forming and adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Wide application in advanced technologically fields – find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical devices or various technologically advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break as they are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a metal holder. 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 shape and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- They rust in a humid environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- The use of a cover - a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited production capabilities of creating threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Potential hazard associated with microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which becomes significant in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in medical diagnosis in case of swallowing.
Safety Precautions
Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly fragile, they easily fall apart and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Magnets made of neodymium are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Magnets 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 major injury may occur. Depending on how large the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or a fracture.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can shock you.
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.
Maintain neodymium magnets far from children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. 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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized 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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
