Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in devices that need strong holding power.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x18x10 / N38 and a magnetic strength 21.19 kg which weighs just 54 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often applied in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
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.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It should be noted 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 under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They retain their magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields effectively,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a smooth finish,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to form),
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, electric drives, medical equipment or even technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and additionally strengthens its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on size). 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a housing is recommended,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the family environments. It should also be noted that tiny components from these assemblies may interfere with diagnostics after being swallowed,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Magnets made of neodymium are especially delicate, which leads to their breakage.
Neodymium magnetic are highly delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. 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.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should have them extremely firmly.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
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 the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can surprise you.

Maintain neodymium magnets far from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to 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 demagnetize at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Be careful!
