Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently used in structures 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 different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 35x7x3 / N38 and a magnetic force 3.71 kg weighing a mere 5.51 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
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 applied in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is required 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 devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can provide better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, 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. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their superior magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their strength around 10 years – the loss of power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- In other words, due to the metallic silver coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- They possess strong magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- Neodymium magnets are known for strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the magnetic form),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which broadens their functional possibilities,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in HDDs, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus along with other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and increases its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a humid environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the health of young users. Moreover, tiny components from these products might disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is relatively high,
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, calculated under optimal conditions, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- under standard ambient temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, by priority:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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 a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Keep neodymium magnets away 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent disruption to the magnets.
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 joining of neodymium magnets is not controlled, then they may crumble and crack. Remember not to move them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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 significant injuries, and even death.
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.
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.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, leading to breaking.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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.
