Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that require exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 30x20x20 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 38.69 kg which weighs just 90 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 requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer 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, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It should be noted 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. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their even over approximately 10 years – the loss of power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external field exposure,
- By applying a shiny layer of nickel, the element gains a sleek look,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the magnetic form),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which expands their functional possibilities,
- Significant impact in advanced technical fields – they find application in hard drives, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices and sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time strengthens its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on shape). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can rust. 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 limitations in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the health of young users. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these assemblies might hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are especially delicate, resulting in shattering.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnetic are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can shock you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. They can also 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 flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets should not be near 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, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
In the case of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to 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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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.
