Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in devices that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 20x20x20 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 31.59 kg weighing just 60 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators a lot of flexibility in placing them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain 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 depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
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, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often 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. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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, credit cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- Because of the brilliant layer of gold, the component looks high-end,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- With the option for tailored forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are used in computer drives, electric drives, medical equipment and other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time strengthens its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on size). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of coated materials,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Potential hazard from tiny pieces may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the health of young users. Furthermore, tiny components from these assemblies can hinder health screening when ingested,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
Precautions with Neodymium Magnets
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 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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on the planet, 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 damage to the magnets.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly delicate, they easily fall apart and can crumble.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. Neodymium magnetic 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.
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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
