Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are frequently applied in products that need very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 5x5x1.2 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 0.47 kg which weighs just 0.23 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which is 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 makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater 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, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in electrical devices, 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. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It’s worth noting 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, magnetic stripe cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- In other words, due to the shiny nickel coating, the magnet obtains an stylish appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in data storage devices, electric motors, clinical machines as well as high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is advisable to use in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage , and at the same time reinforces its overall strength,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s structure). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a wet environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Possible threat due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the health of young users. It should also be noted that small elements from these assemblies might interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, resulting in shattering.
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. 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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the 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 devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be around 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.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
In the case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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 can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
