Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly used in products that need very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their durability.
The magnet with the designation MPL 5x4x1 / N38 and a magnetic force 0.35 kg with a weight of only 0.15 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
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 utilized in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel 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 perfect for applications requiring powerful 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. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, credit cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the polished finish and silver coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the magnetic form),
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in HDDs, electric motors, medical equipment as well as technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and additionally strengthens its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration 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,
- They rust in a wet environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a housing is recommended,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is significant in the context of child safety. Moreover, minuscule fragments from these magnets have the potential to complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Magnets will crack or crumble with careless joining to each other. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
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 magnetic are delicate and can easily crack and 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 connection between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
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 are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can surprise you.

Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
