Shopping tips
Due to their power, flat magnets are commonly applied in devices that need very strong attraction.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 5x5x1.2 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength ${capacity} kg weighing just ${weight} grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in different 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 makes it easier mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In some 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 specific application and requirements. In certain 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, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often 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 strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
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 compasses, credit cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
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.
- 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 Precautions
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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 are known for their fragility, which can cause them to crumble.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been found 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
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 happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets will bounce and touch together within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an allergy.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including 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 magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the magnets.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
