Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in products that require strong holding power.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets usually have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x20x5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 11.17 kg weighing a mere 30 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers a lot of flexibility in placing them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can provide better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, 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 dimensions 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 once this temperature is exceeded, 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic influence very well,
- By applying a bright layer of nickel, the element gains a clean look,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for very high magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the shape),
- The ability for accurate shaping and adaptation to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they serve a purpose in data storage devices, electric drives, clinical machines and other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in tiny dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also reinforces its overall resistance,
- They lose strength at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a moist environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- 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 protection of children. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these products might disrupt scanning when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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.
Neodymium magnets will jump and clash together within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
While 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.
Do not bring neodymium magnets 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.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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 severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can shock you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and can easily crack and get damaged.
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. 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 are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
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.
