Shopping tips
Due to their strength, flat magnets are regularly applied in structures that need strong holding power.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but depending on the dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 50x30x4 / N38 and a magnetic strength 0 kg which weighs only 45 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure 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 various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies mounting, particularly when it is necessary to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers a lot of flexibility in arranging them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain 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 is dependent on the given use and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them indispensable 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 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. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They show superior resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
- Because of the reflective layer of silver, the component looks high-end,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the shape),
- The ability for custom shaping as well as customization to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they find application in HDDs, electric drives, diagnostic apparatus or even high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also strengthens its overall resistance,
- They lose field intensity at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions 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, especially when used outside, we recommend using moisture-resistant magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the protection of children. Moreover, minuscule fragments from these products might hinder health screening when ingested,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to 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 significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. Remember not to approach them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant swellings to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets are particularly fragile, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Magnets made of neodymium 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.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. 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.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
