Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly applied in devices that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 50x50x25 / N38 and a magnetic strength 98.71 kg weighing just 468.75 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing 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 important 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 creators greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide 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, 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 often used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size 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. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They do not lose their even during approximately ten years – the reduction of lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is notable,
- The use of a decorative nickel surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is impressively powerful,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to form),
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in new technology industries – they find application in hard drives, electromechanical systems, medical equipment or even other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture 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 fracture and additionally enhances its overall resistance,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline in performance (depending on height). 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 common to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Safety concern from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the health of young users. Additionally, small elements from these devices have the potential to complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet corresponds to the maximum lifting force, assessed in a perfect environment, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- with zero air gap
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, by priority:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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 plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
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 can demagnetize at high temperatures.
While 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 the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
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.
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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and can easily crack and get damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be around children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. 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 can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will crack or crumble with careless connecting to each other. Remember not to move them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
