Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in products that require exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 25x12.5x5 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 6.98 kg weighing a mere 11.72 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract 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 commonly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. 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 avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their even during nearly ten years – the decrease of lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- Because of the reflective layer of gold, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for accurate shaping and adjustment to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electric drives, medical equipment along with high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and increases its overall strength,
- They lose field intensity at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is advisable to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the family environments. Additionally, tiny components from these assemblies have the potential to hinder health screening once in the system,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is relatively high,
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, calculated in ideal conditions, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- in conditions of no clearance
- with vertical force applied
- under standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – 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, because 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 performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly fragile, they easily crack as well as can crumble.
Neodymium magnetic are highly delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. 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 connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
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 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 significant injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or even a fracture.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can surprise 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
