Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly used in structures that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
Additionally, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x20x10 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 22.34 kg which weighs a mere 60 grams, making it the perfect 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 is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators 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 provide 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 some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two 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 regularly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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, credit cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy nickel coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they are utilized in data storage devices, electromechanical systems, medical equipment or even other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is suggested to place them in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and reinforces its overall strength,
- They lose strength at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to damp air can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the health of young users. Additionally, tiny components from these devices may interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or even a fracture.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially fragile, resulting in their breakage.
Neodymium magnetic are highly delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength can shock you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
