Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are commonly applied in structures that require strong holding power.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x10x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 6.32 kg with a weight of only 12 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It’s worth noting 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 and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They retain their full power for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is impressive,
- By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element gains a sleek look,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which broadens their functional possibilities,
- Key role in new technology industries – they find application in computer drives, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices and other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time increases its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss in performance (depending on size). 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 humidity can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the protection of children. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these devices have the potential to hinder health screening if inside the body,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are costlier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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.
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.
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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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 are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can shock you.
To handle 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are noted for being fragile, which can cause them to crumble.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy 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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can demagnetize 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or a fracture may occur.
