Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are frequently used in products that need strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x10x18 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength ${capacity} kg with a weight of only ${weight} grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring 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 necessary for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, especially 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 arranging them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind 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 interact with each other when they are different. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. 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. 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. 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 and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets
Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are currently the strongest permanent magnets available on the market. Their exceptional magnetic properties make them suitable for various industries, technologies, and everyday life. Below are the key advantages:
- Immense attractive force: Even small neodymium magnets generate a very strong magnetic field.
- High coercivity: They are resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic fields.
- Wide operating temperature range: Standard neodymium magnets operate up to 80°C, with special versions up to 230°C.
- Variety of shapes and sizes: Available in many forms, making them easy to adapt to specific applications.
- Relatively low price compared to strength: They offer the best strength-to-price ratio among all magnets.
- Longevity: With proper use, they retain their magnetic properties for many years.
- Versatility of applications: From electric motors to speakers, separators, toys, and jewelry.
Despite numerous advantages, neodymium magnets also have certain disadvantages to consider:
- Brittleness: They are hard but brittle and prone to cracking or chipping upon impact.
- Limited operating temperature for standard versions: Above the Curie temperature, they lose their magnetic properties.
- Strong magnetic field can be dangerous: They can damage electronics, magnetic cards, and pose a risk of attracting metal objects with great force.
- Difficulties in mechanical processing: Due to their hardness and brittleness, processing them is complex.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and 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 is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an 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.
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 highly fragile, they easily break and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Magnets made of neodymium 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Neodymium magnets bounce and clash mutually within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their strength can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.
