Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are regularly applied in products that require very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet named MPL 20x5x3 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 2.37 kg weighing only 2.25 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 can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized 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 makes mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It should be noted 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 navigational instruments, credit cards and even 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.
Apart from immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose strength over time. After about 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by an external magnetic field,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an visually attractive appearance,
- They possess very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve significant thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Wide application in modern technologies – find application in hard drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical equipment and other advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break as they are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures can reduce the power of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the shape and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
- Due to their susceptibility to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials when using them outdoors,
- The use of a cover or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk arising from small pieces of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting young children. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices have the potential to hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic 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.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnetic are particularly fragile, resulting in their breakage.
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. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant swellings.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, at that time they may crumble and crack. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets should not be around youngest 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
