Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are regularly applied in products that need very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x10x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 6.32 kg weighing just 12 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows 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 offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power 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’s worth noting 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. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards and even 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 exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power around 10 years – the decrease of strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny layer of gold, the element gains a modern look,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices and technologically developed systems,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks , and at the same time increases its overall resistance,
- They lose strength at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can corrode. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of rubber,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is important in the health of young users. Furthermore, minuscule fragments from these magnets can hinder health screening once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their strength can shock you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Neodymium magnets are particularly delicate, resulting in damage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. 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 connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
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 magnets should not be around youngest children.
Remember that 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a serious injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or a fracture.
