Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are commonly applied in devices that need exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 3x3x1 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 0.24 kg which weighs a mere 0.07 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, e.g. 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. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It should be noted 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 once this temperature is exceeded, 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 avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is impressive,
- Thanks to the glossy finish and nickel coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for accurate shaping as well as customization to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Key role in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in data storage devices, electric drives, healthcare devices along with high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows for use in compact constructions
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and additionally reinforces its overall resistance,
- They lose strength at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements from these assemblies have the potential to complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which can restrict large-scale applications
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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.
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.
Neodymium magnets will jump and also touch together within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can surprise 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly susceptible to damage, leading to their cracking.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
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 demagnetize 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.
