Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in products that need exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets usually have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their durability.
The magnet with the designation MPL 45x25x10 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 26.49 kg with a weight of just 84.38 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note 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 more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, 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 indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the material it is made of.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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 medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and nickel coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drives, medical equipment along with technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is suggested to place them in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and additionally increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss in performance (depending on shape). 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 encapsulated magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the family environments. Furthermore, small elements from these magnets may interfere with diagnostics once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet represents the maximum lifting force, measured in a perfect environment, specifically:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, according to their importance:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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.
* Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are noted for being fragile, which can cause them to become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been observed 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.
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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets generate strong 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 damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
