Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently used in products that require very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 50x20x5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 12.49 kg weighing a mere 37.5 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often applied in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, reducing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful 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 under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They retain their full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- By applying a shiny layer of gold, the element gains a clean look,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- With the option for fine forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Important function in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus along with technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also enhances its overall durability,
- They lose power at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a damp environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Potential hazard from tiny pieces may arise, especially if swallowed, which is notable in the context of child safety. It should also be noted that miniature parts from these devices can disrupt scanning once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Remember that 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 severe injuries, and even death.
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.
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. 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 magnetic are extremely delicate, they easily fall apart as well as can crumble.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or even a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to correctly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Pay attention!
