Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly applied in devices that need exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets usually have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 40x5x3 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 3.35 kg with a weight of only 4.5 grams, making it the ideal 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 can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with 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 often used in electrical devices, 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 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 navigational instruments, magnetic stripe 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 magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external electromagnetic environments very well,
- The use of a decorative gold surface provides a smooth finish,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the magnetic form),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which broadens their application range,
- Wide application in new technology industries – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment as well as technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also strengthens its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on size). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- They rust in a wet environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the limitations in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the context of child safety. Moreover, tiny components from these devices have the potential to interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is considerably higher,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are noted for their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets 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 devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a serious injury may occur. Depending on how massive the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can surprise you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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.
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.
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.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Be careful!
