Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that need strong holding power.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 40x40x15 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 47.38 kg with a weight of just 180 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These 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: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, reducing 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. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, 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 perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions 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. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, 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, magnetic stripe cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their even during nearly 10 years – the decrease of strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the glossy finish and silver coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- With the option for tailored forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they find application in computer drives, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices along with sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and additionally reinforces its overall strength,
- They lose magnetic force at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the protection of children. Additionally, miniature parts from these assemblies have the potential to interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is relatively high,
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
It is essential to keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in 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.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as can easily crack as well as shatter.
Magnets made of neodymium 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 surface, but they are not as hard 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.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Be careful!
