Shopping tips

Flat neodymium magnets min. MPL 40x5x3 / N38 are magnets made from neodymium in a flat form. They are known for their very strong magnetic properties, which surpass standard iron magnets.
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently used in products that need exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet labeled MPL 40x5x3 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 3.35 kg weighing only 4.5 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Neodymium flat magnets provide a range of advantages compared to other magnet shapes, which lead to them being the best choice for various uses:
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often applied in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex 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 is dependent on the specific project and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Attracted by magnets are ferromagnetic materials, such as iron elements, nickel, cobalt and special alloys of ferromagnetic metals. Moreover, magnets may weaker affect some other metals, such as steel. It’s worth noting that magnets are utilized in various devices and technologies.
The operation of magnets is based on the properties of their magnetic field, which arises from the ordered movement of electrons in their structure. The magnetic field of magnets creates attractive forces, which attract objects made of iron or other ferromagnetic substances.

Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
Not all materials react to magnets, and examples of such substances are plastics, glass items, wooden materials or most gemstones. Additionally, magnets do not affect certain metals, such as copper, aluminum, gold. Although these metals conduct electricity, do not exhibit ferromagnetic properties, meaning that they remain unaffected by a magnet, unless exposed to a very strong magnetic field.
It should be noted that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
A neodymium plate magnet with classification N50 and N52 is a powerful and highly strong magnetic piece shaped like a plate, that provides high force and versatile application. Competitive price, 24h delivery, ruggedness and broad range of uses.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

  • They do not lose their even over nearly ten years – the decrease of lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They show superior resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish and nickel coating, they have an elegant appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
  • With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
  • The ability for accurate shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which enhances their versatility in applications,
  • Key role in new technology industries – they are used in HDDs, electromechanical systems, clinical machines along with sophisticated instruments,
  • Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

  • They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and additionally strengthens its overall durability,
  • High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on form). 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,
  • Magnets exposed to moisture can corrode. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of plastic,
  • Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the limitations in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
  • Safety concern due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the context of child safety. Furthermore, minuscule fragments from these assemblies have the potential to hinder health screening after being swallowed,
  • Due to a complex production process, their cost is above average,

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, measured in ideal conditions, that is:

  • using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
  • of a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with a refined outer layer
  • in conditions of no clearance
  • in a perpendicular direction of force
  • at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Practical lifting force is dependent on factors, listed from the most critical to the less significant:

  • Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
  • Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
  • Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
  • Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
  • Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
  • Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.

* Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets

You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.

Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.

  Do not give neodymium magnets to children.

Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.

Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can surprise you.

Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.

Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.

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.

Magnets made of neodymium are particularly delicate, which leads to damage.

In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. 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 collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.

People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.

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.

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 become demagnetized 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.

The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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.

Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.

Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a significant injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or a fracture.
