Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are regularly used in products that require very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x18x10 / N38 and a magnetic force 21.19 kg with a weight of only 54 grams, making it the perfect 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 is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often used in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in placing them in structures, 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, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, 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. 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 or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power (of the magnet). After about 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization caused by external magnetic field very well,
- In other words, thanks to the glossy nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They possess very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve significant thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping or the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Wide application in advanced technologically fields – are used in HDD drives, electric motors, medical devices and very highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break as they are extremely fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a steel housing. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- Magnets lose their power due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent loss in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the shape and size of the magnet). To avoid this problem, we offer special magnets marked with the [AH] symbol, which exhibit high temperature resistance. They can operate even at temperatures as high as 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- 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 pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, miniscule components of these magnets have the potential to complicate diagnosis after entering the body.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
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.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
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.
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 is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Do not place neodymium magnets 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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, leading to breaking.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent disruption to the magnets.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
