Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their power, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that need very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet named MPL 50x20x5 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 12.49 kg weighing only 37.50 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators a lot of 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 provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel 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 greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It should be noted 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 and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time. After about 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic field,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by hugely high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Wide application in modern technologies – find application in HDD drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical devices or other advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking as they are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- Magnets lose their strength due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent reduction in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the shape and size of the magnet). To avoid this problem, we offer special magnets marked with the [AH] symbol, which exhibit high temperature resistance. They can operate even at temperatures as high as 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- The use of a cover - a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited production capabilities of creating threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk to health from tiny fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the aspect of protecting young children. Additionally, miniscule components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis when they are in the body.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnetic are characterized by 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, but they are not as durable 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 are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can surprise you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional damage to the magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
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.
Magnets may crack or alternatively crumble with careless joining to each other. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely strongly.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets far from youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
