Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are frequently used in products that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 30x20x10 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 17.29 kg with a weight of only 45 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, 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 sliding 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, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, 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 indispensable for applications requiring strong 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. 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 compasses, magnetic stripe 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.
Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They show superior resistance to demagnetization from external magnetic fields,
- The use of a mirror-like silver surface provides a smooth finish,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- The ability for precise shaping as well as adjustment to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they find application in HDDs, rotating machines, healthcare devices or even sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also increases its overall strength,
- They lose power at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a humid environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the health of young users. Additionally, tiny components from these products may interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant swellings.
If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or even a fracture.
Neodymium magnetic are noted for their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal and 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.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
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.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been observed to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
