Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in devices that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet named MPL 25x2x6 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 0 kg which weighs just 0 grams, making it the excellent 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 needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in arranging 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 shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, 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 ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit 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.
In addition to their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their power is maintained, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy gold coating, the magnet obtains an stylish appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- With the right combination of compounds, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- With the option for fine forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Important function in modern technologies – they are used in data storage devices, electric motors, clinical machines along with technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and reinforces its overall resistance,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on height). 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 recommended to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Safety concern from tiny pieces may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the family environments. It should also be noted that small elements from these magnets may interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, assessed in ideal conditions, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, in descending order of importance:
- 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 was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and also crack. Remember not to move them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
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 is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away 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, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their strength can shock you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity youngest children.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnetic are particularly delicate, which leads to their breakage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. 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, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
