Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly applied in structures that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x15x6 / N38 and a magnetic strength 11.61 kg with a weight of only 27 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often used in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in placing them in structures, 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, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application 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.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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 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 magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They do not lose their magnetism, even after around ten years – the decrease of power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic fields effectively,
- The use of a polished silver surface provides a refined finish,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which expands their usage potential,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in computer drives, electromechanical systems, clinical machines as well as other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and strengthens its overall robustness,
- They lose magnetic force at increased 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,
- They rust in a damp environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the family environments. Moreover, tiny components from these devices may hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Be Cautious with 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized 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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to 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 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.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
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 alternatively in their path when attract. Depending on how huge the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Magnets made of neodymium are particularly delicate, resulting in damage.
Neodymium magnets are extremely fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Magnets made of neodymium 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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, 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 produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
