Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Additionally, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet named MPL 30x15x2 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 3.35 kg which weighs a mere 6.75 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often applied in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers a lot of flexibility in placing them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may 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 project 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. Poles of the same kind, such as 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 strong magnetic fields. Additionally, 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. 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 or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength nearly ten years – the reduction of lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element gains a clean look,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their usage potential,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electric drives, healthcare devices or even other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage , and at the same time reinforces its overall resistance,
- They lose power at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a moist environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the family environments. It should also be noted that small elements from these magnets have the potential to complicate medical imaging when ingested,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which can restrict large-scale applications
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an allergy.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
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 significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnetic are known for their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are 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.
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.
In the situation of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
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 people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
