Shopping tips

Flat neodymium magnets i.e. MPL 30x20x20 / N38 are magnets made from neodymium in a flat form. They are known for their very strong magnetic properties, which outshine traditional iron magnets.
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that require very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets usually have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet named MPL 30x20x20 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 38.69 kg with a weight of only 90 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Neodymium flat magnets present a range of advantages compared to other magnet shapes, which cause them being an ideal choice for many applications:
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials, such as iron elements, nickel, materials with cobalt or alloys of metals with magnetic properties. Additionally, magnets may lesser affect alloys containing iron, such as steel. It’s worth noting that magnets are utilized in various devices and technologies.
Magnets work thanks to the properties of the magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of electric charges within their material. Magnetic fields of these objects creates attractive interactions, which affect materials containing cobalt or other ferromagnetic substances.

Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, 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. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
Magnets do not attract plastics, glass, wooden materials and most gemstones. Moreover, magnets do not affect certain metals, such as copper, aluminum materials, items made of gold. Although these metals conduct electricity, do not exhibit ferromagnetic properties, meaning that they remain unaffected by a magnet, unless they are subjected to an extremely strong magnetic field.
It’s worth noting that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, 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 and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
A flat magnet in classes N52 and N50 is a powerful and highly strong magnetic product designed as a plate, providing strong holding power and broad usability. Competitive price, availability, durability and versatility.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
  • In other words, due to the glossy silver coating, the magnet obtains an stylish appearance,
  • The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
  • Neodymium magnets are known for strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the shape),
  • Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which increases their application range,
  • Important function in new technology industries – they are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment or even sophisticated instruments,
  • Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

  • They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden 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 cracks and additionally increases its overall robustness,
  • They lose power at extreme 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,
  • Magnets exposed to humidity can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
  • Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
  • Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is notable in the context of child safety. Moreover, small elements from these products might interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
  • In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost may not be economically viable,

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, calculated in a perfect environment, that is:

  • with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
  • having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
  • with a polished side
  • with zero air gap
  • under perpendicular detachment force
  • in normal thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by the following aspects, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:

  • Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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.

* Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully

Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.

Despite the general resilience of magnets, 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.

Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.

Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.

Neodymium magnetic are highly fragile, they easily break and can crumble.

Magnets made of neodymium are fragile as well as will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.

 Maintain neodymium magnets away from 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.

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.

Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.

Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage 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.

Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.

If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or even a fracture.

Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their power can surprise 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.

The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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.

Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.

Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.

Warning!

So you are aware of why neodymium magnets are so dangerous, see the article titled How dangerous are very strong neodymium magnets?.
