Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently used in devices that need exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x15x6 / N38 and a magnetic force 11.61 kg with a weight of only 27 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied 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 makes it easier mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers a lot of flexibility in placing 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 may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It should be noted 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 navigational instruments, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They retain their full power for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and silver coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the geometry),
- The ability for custom shaping or adjustment to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they find application in HDDs, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices as well as other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and reinforces its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on height). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- They rust in a wet environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the family environments. Moreover, tiny components from these products might complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an 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.
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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the 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 destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a major injury may occur. Depending on how large the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or a fracture.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
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.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Keep neodymium magnets far from children.
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 significant injuries, and even death.
Exercise caution!
