Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in devices that require strong holding power.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 50x20x10 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 24.97 kg weighing a mere 75 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators a lot of flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, act repelling on 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 highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
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 navigational instruments, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They retain their attractive force for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- In other words, due to the shiny silver coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- 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 targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in hard drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices as well as other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and additionally strengthens its overall durability,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s profile). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the health of young users. Furthermore, small elements from these devices have the potential to interfere with diagnostics after being swallowed,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, determined in ideal conditions, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- under standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
Practical lifting force is determined by elements, 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) 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.
* Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or 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 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. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to insert fingers between magnets or in their path when attract. Depending on how huge the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest 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 are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can shock you.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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.
Neodymium magnets are incredibly fragile, they easily break as well as can become damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
