Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are frequently used in products that require very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Additionally, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 30x15x10 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 16.75 kg weighing just 33.75 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often used in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can provide better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often 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. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
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 once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, credit cards or 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 magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- In other words, due to the glossy silver coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for very high magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the shape),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which expands their functional possibilities,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are used in computer drives, electromechanical systems, medical equipment and technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time increases its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible field weakening (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Safety concern from tiny pieces may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the protection of children. Moreover, tiny components from these products have the potential to hinder health screening once in the system,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is considerably higher,
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet represents the maximum lifting force, calculated in a perfect environment, namely:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- under standard ambient temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by these factors, from crucial to less important:
- 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 measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be near 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.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnetic are particularly delicate, resulting in damage.
Neodymium magnets 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 attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and touch each other mutually within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Safety precautions!
So you are aware of why neodymium magnets are so dangerous, see the article titled How dangerous are strong neodymium magnets?.
