Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are regularly applied in products that need very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 50x50x25 / N38 and a magnetic strength ${capacity} kg weighing only ${weight} grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often used in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers a lot of flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific application 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 oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly 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 strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, 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, magnetic stripe cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets
Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are currently the strongest permanent magnets available on the market. Their exceptional magnetic properties make them suitable for various industries, technologies, and everyday life. Below are the key advantages:
- Immense attractive force: Even small neodymium magnets generate a very strong magnetic field.
- High coercivity: They are resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic fields.
- Wide operating temperature range: Standard neodymium magnets operate up to 80°C, with special versions up to 230°C.
- Variety of shapes and sizes: Available in many forms, making them easy to adapt to specific applications.
- Relatively low price compared to strength: They offer the best strength-to-price ratio among all magnets.
- Longevity: With proper use, they retain their magnetic properties for many years.
- Versatility of applications: From electric motors to speakers, separators, toys, and jewelry.
Despite numerous advantages, neodymium magnets also have certain disadvantages to consider:
- Brittleness: They are hard but brittle and prone to cracking or chipping upon impact.
- Susceptibility to corrosion: They require a protective coating (e.g., nickel, zinc) to prevent rusting.
- Limited operating temperature for standard versions: Above the Curie temperature, they lose their magnetic properties.
- Strong magnetic field can be dangerous: They can damage electronics, magnetic cards, and pose a risk of attracting metal objects with great force.
- Difficulties in mechanical processing: Due to their hardness and brittleness, processing them is complex.
Safety Guidelines with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
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.
Neodymium magnetic are noted for their fragility, which can cause them to shatter.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets will bounce and also clash together within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can surprise you.
