Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their power, flat magnets are regularly applied in devices that require exceptional adhesion.
Most common 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, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet named MPL 40x5x3 / N38 and a magnetic force 3.35 kg with a weight of only 4.50 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer 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 certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size 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, credit cards or 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 immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time - after 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They possess very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by hugely high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Key role in modern technologies – are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices or other highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break as they are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- They lose strength at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss of strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we recommend 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
- Health risk to health from tiny fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is crucial in the context of children's health. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to hinder the diagnostic process after entering the body.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnetic are known for being fragile, which can cause them to become damaged.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
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 significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Neodymium magnets will bounce and also contact 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 strong 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 destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
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.
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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
