Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are frequently applied in products that require exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x10x5 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 7.9 kg with a weight of a mere 15 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in placing 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. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as 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, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
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, credit cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately ten years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny layer of nickel, the element gains a sleek look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for accurate shaping or adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications,
- Important function in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in computer drives, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus along with high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and increases its overall robustness,
- They lose strength at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a humid environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Possible threat linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the health of young users. Additionally, small elements from these devices may hinder health screening if inside the body,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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 are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their power can surprise 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 magnetic are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets produce 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 damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to put fingers between magnets or alternatively in their path when they attract. Depending on how huge the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets should not be near 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
