Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly applied in structures that need strong holding power.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet named MPL 40x20x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 and a magnetic force 8.93 kg with a weight of just 24 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 other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use 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 attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It’s worth noting 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 navigational instruments, credit cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power (of the magnet). After approximately 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources extremely well,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and nickel, gold, or silver coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- Due to the option of accurate forming and adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Significant importance in modern technologies – are used in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical devices and other modern machines.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a metal holder. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and at the same time increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures can reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the shape and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
- They rust in a humid environment - during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- 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
- Possible danger associated with microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is crucial in the aspect of protecting young children. Furthermore, small elements of these products have the potential to hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Even though 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially delicate, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, at that time they may crumble and also crack. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should have them very firmly.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. 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.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and 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.
