Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that require very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
Additionally, flat magnets usually have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet named MPL 25x25x10 / N38 and a magnetic strength 19.74 kg weighing just 46.88 grams, making it the ideal 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 used in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often 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 powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, 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. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, 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:
- They do not lose their even during around ten years – the decrease of strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- Because of the reflective layer of nickel, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they are used in computer drives, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus and sophisticated instruments,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and strengthens its overall strength,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible power drop (influenced by the magnet’s structure). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can rust. 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 risky,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the protection of children. Furthermore, miniature parts from these assemblies have the potential to disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
The given pulling force of the magnet means the maximum force, measured in the best circumstances, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice the following factors, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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.
* Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Notes with Neodymium Magnets
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.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnetic are especially fragile, which leads to shattering.
Magnets made of neodymium 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, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets should not be around children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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 severe injuries, and even death.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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.
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 will crack or alternatively crumble with uncontrolled joining to each other. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely firmly.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can surprise you.
