Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly used in products that require exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 40x10x5 / N38 and a magnetic force 7.9 kg which weighs just 15 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators greater 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 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 project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size 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. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, credit cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external magnetic fields,
- By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element gains a sleek look,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- With the option for fine forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Key role in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in HDDs, electric drives, clinical machines or even high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and strengthens its overall durability,
- Magnets lose field strength when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible field weakening (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a damp environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny components from these magnets may interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is relatively high,
Precautions with Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength 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 disruption to the magnets.
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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
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 around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to place fingers between magnets or in their path when they attract. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a serious pressure or even a fracture.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly susceptible to damage, leading to their cracking.
Neodymium magnetic are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnetic 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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest children.
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.
