Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are commonly applied in devices that require very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets usually have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 50x20x5 / N38 and a lifting capacity of 12.49 kg which weighs only 37.5 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: Their 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 creators greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding 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, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two main 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 often used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. 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 navigational instruments, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They show superior resistance to demagnetization from external field exposure,
- Thanks to the polished finish and gold coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to form),
- The ability for custom shaping or customization to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Key role in new technology industries – they find application in hard drives, rotating machines, medical equipment along with sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and additionally strengthens its overall strength,
- They lose field intensity at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the limitations in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the context of child safety. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these magnets can hinder health screening once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Precautions
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their strength can surprise you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium magnets are particularly fragile, resulting in their breakage.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. 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 can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or a fracture.
