Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are regularly used in devices that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 50x25x12 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 33.5 kg weighing just 112.5 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due 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 magnets are often applied in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers a lot of 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 can offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. 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 electrical devices, e.g. 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 material it is made of.
It’s worth noting that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe 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 pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years, the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external field exposure,
- The use of a decorative silver surface provides a smooth finish,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- With the option for fine forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they find application in hard drives, electromechanical systems, medical equipment as well as high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is advisable to use in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time enhances its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on size). 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is significant in the health of young users. Furthermore, small elements from these magnets might hinder health screening when ingested,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, measured in a perfect environment, specifically:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, 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) can cause 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 a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize 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.
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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, they easily break and can crumble.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength can surprise you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to put fingers between magnets or alternatively in their path when they attract. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or even a fracture.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that can damage 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. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
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.
