Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that require exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 and a magnetic strength 9.67 kg weighing just 22.5 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 requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, which is 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 shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use 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 interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, 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 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 high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their power is durable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and nickel coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is impressively powerful,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- The ability for custom shaping and customization to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which enhances their versatility in applications,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment along with high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and strengthens its overall durability,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible field weakening (influenced by the magnet’s form). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a wet environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using moisture-resistant magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the protection of children. Additionally, minuscule fragments from these products can interfere with diagnostics once in the system,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their strength can surprise you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic 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.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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 can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and also crack. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should have them very firmly.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially fragile, which leads to their breakage.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnets 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.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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 severe injuries, and even death.
