Shopping tips

Neodymium flat magnets min. MPL 20x20x20 / N38 are magnets made from neodymium in a rectangular form. They are appreciated for their exceptionally potent magnetic properties, which are much stronger than standard iron magnets.
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are frequently used in products that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet named MPL 20x20x20 / N38 and a magnetic force 31.59 kg with a weight of a mere 60 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Neodymium flat magnets provide a range of advantages compared to other magnet shapes, which cause them being a perfect solution for various uses:
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat 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 some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting 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, like cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
How do magnets work? Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials, such as iron elements, objects containing nickel, materials with cobalt or special alloys of ferromagnetic metals. Moreover, magnets may lesser affect some other metals, such as steel. It’s worth noting that magnets are utilized in various devices and technologies.
Magnets work thanks to the properties of the magnetic field, which arises from the ordered movement of electrons in their structure. The magnetic field of these objects creates attractive interactions, which affect objects made of cobalt or other magnetic materials.

Magnets have two main 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 regularly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
Not all materials react to magnets, and examples of such substances are plastics, glass, wood or precious stones. Moreover, magnets do not affect certain metals, such as copper items, aluminum materials, items made of gold. These metals, although they are conductors of electricity, do not exhibit ferromagnetic properties, meaning that they remain unaffected by a magnet, unless exposed to a very strong magnetic field.
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 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 electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
A neodymium magnet with classification N50 and N52 is a strong and extremely powerful metallic component with the shape of a plate, featuring high force and broad usability. Very good price, availability, resistance and broad range of uses.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

  • Their power remains stable, and after approximately ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the metallic silver coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
  • They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
  • These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
  • The ability for custom shaping or adjustment to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications,
  • Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in computer drives, electromechanical systems, medical equipment along with other advanced devices,
  • Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices

Disadvantages of magnetic elements:

  • They may fracture when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is suggested to place them 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,
  • They lose magnetic force at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
  • They rust in a moist environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using moisture-resistant magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
  • The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is risky,
  • Possible threat linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the protection of children. It should also be noted that tiny components from these products may interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
  • High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The given holding capacity of the magnet corresponds to the highest holding force, calculated in the best circumstances, namely:

  • with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
  • having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
  • with a smooth surface
  • with no separation
  • in a perpendicular direction of force
  • in normal thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Practical lifting force is determined by factors, listed from the most critical to the less significant:

  • Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause 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 carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution

Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can shock you.

Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.

Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.

The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.

 It is important to keep neodymium magnets away from children.

Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. 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.

Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.

While Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.

Neodymium magnetic are noted for their fragility, which can cause them to crumble.

Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.

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.

It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.

Magnets may crack or crumble with careless joining to each other. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.

Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.

Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can 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.

Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.

Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.

The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious if you have an allergy.

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.

Safety precautions!

In order for you to know how powerful neodymium magnets are and why they are so dangerous, see the article - Dangerous strong neodymium magnets.
