Shopping tips

Flat neodymium magnets min. MPL 20x5x3 / N38 are magnets created from neodymium in a rectangular form. They are known for their exceptionally potent magnetic properties, which are much stronger than ordinary iron magnets.
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly used in products that need very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 20x5x3 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 2.37 kg which weighs a mere 2.25 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Neodymium flat magnets offer a range of advantages versus other magnet shapes, which cause them being the best choice for various uses:
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often used in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which can be 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 depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials, such as iron elements, nickel, 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.
The operation of magnets is based on the properties of the magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of electric charges within their material. Magnetic fields of these objects creates attractive interactions, which attract materials containing nickel or other ferromagnetic substances.

Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
Not all materials react to magnets, and examples of such substances are plastic, glass items, wood and precious stones. Additionally, magnets do not affect certain metals, such as copper items, aluminum materials, gold. These metals, although they are conductors of electricity, do not exhibit ferromagnetic properties, meaning that they remain unaffected by a magnet, unless they are subjected to an extremely strong magnetic field.
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 compasses, magnetic stripe cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
A neodymium magnet with classification N52 and N50 is a powerful and strong magnetic piece with the shape of a plate, providing high force and universal applicability. Good price, 24h delivery, durability and versatility.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

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

  • They retain their full power for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
  • Thanks to the polished finish and silver coating, they have an elegant appearance,
  • They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
  • Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
  • The ability for custom shaping and customization to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which extends the scope of their use cases,
  • Important function in new technology industries – they are used in computer drives, electric drives, healthcare devices or even sophisticated instruments,
  • Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:

  • They are fragile when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and reinforces its overall resistance,
  • Magnets lose field strength 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,
  • Magnets exposed to damp air can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of plastic,
  • The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
  • Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the protection of children. Furthermore, miniature parts from these devices may interfere with diagnostics once in the system,
  • In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, calculated in the best circumstances, specifically:

  • with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
  • having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
  • with a smooth surface
  • with zero air gap
  • with vertical force applied
  • in normal thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:

  • 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 conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully

People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.

Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.

  Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.

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.

Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly delicate, they easily break and can crumble.

Neodymium magnetic are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Neodymium magnetic are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.

Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power 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.

Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.

While Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties 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.

Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.

Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.

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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.

Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.

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 primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.

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, because a major injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or a fracture.

Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.

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.

Pay attention!
