Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently used in structures that need very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 20x8x4 / N38 and a magnetic force 4 kg with a weight of a mere 4.8 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is necessary 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 can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific project and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as 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 different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, such as 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. Moreover, 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 under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external field exposure,
- By applying a reflective layer of silver, the element gains a sleek look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of compounds, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Key role in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in HDDs, electromechanical systems, medical equipment as well as sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time increases its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Safety concern linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the health of young users. Additionally, minuscule fragments from these assemblies have the potential to complicate medical imaging if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can shock you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
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.
Neodymium magnets bounce and also clash mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly fragile, they easily crack as well as can crumble.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed 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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
