Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly used in products that need strong holding power.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 30x15x10 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength ${capacity} kg with a weight of only ${weight} grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks 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 applied in different 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 mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators greater flexibility in arranging 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 sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In some 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 different. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength 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 high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets
Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are currently the strongest permanent magnets available on the market. Their exceptional magnetic properties make them suitable for various industries, technologies, and everyday life. Below are the key advantages:
- Immense attractive force: Even small neodymium magnets generate a very strong magnetic field.
- High coercivity: They are resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic fields.
- Wide operating temperature range: Standard neodymium magnets operate up to 80°C, with special versions up to 230°C.
- Variety of shapes and sizes: Available in many forms, making them easy to adapt to specific applications.
- Relatively low price compared to strength: They offer the best strength-to-price ratio among all magnets.
- Longevity: With proper use, they retain their magnetic properties for many years.
- Versatility of applications: From electric motors to speakers, separators, toys, and jewelry.
Despite numerous advantages, neodymium magnets also have certain disadvantages to consider:
- Brittleness: They are hard but brittle and prone to cracking or chipping upon impact.
- Susceptibility to corrosion: They require a protective coating (e.g., nickel, zinc) to prevent rusting.
- Limited operating temperature for standard versions: Above the Curie temperature, they lose their magnetic properties.
- Strong magnetic field can be dangerous: They can damage electronics, magnetic cards, and pose a risk of attracting metal objects with great force.
- Difficulties in mechanical processing: Due to their hardness and brittleness, processing them is complex.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of strong magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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.
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.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or a fracture.
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 especially fragile, which leads to shattering.
Neodymium magnets 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 as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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.
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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong 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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest children.
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 severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
