Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are frequently used in products that need strong holding power.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Additionally, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 and a lifting capacity of 9.67 kg which weighs only 22.5 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 can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can provide better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific project 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 attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, e.g. 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 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. Interestingly, 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 avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time. After about 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They have exceptionally high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping or the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes or sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Wide application in advanced technologically fields – are used in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment or very highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a metal holder. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and at the same time increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures can reduce the power of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent reduction in strength (although it is dependent on the shape and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
- They rust in a humid environment - during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- The use of a cover or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Potential hazard associated with microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally ingested, which is crucial in the aspect of protecting young children. It's also worth noting that small elements of these products have the potential to hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.
Precautions
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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 are characterized by being fragile, which can cause them to crumble.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard 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 should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
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 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. Remember not to place fingers between magnets or in their path when attract. Depending on how large the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or a fracture.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can surprise you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
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.
Be careful!
