Shopping tips
Thanks to their mighty power, flat magnets are regularly applied in devices that require strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
In addition, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 60x20x10 / N38 and a magnetic strength 27.36 kg with a weight of only 90 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often utilized in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits creators greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often used in electrical devices, 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 size 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. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They retain their full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish and nickel coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which broadens their usage potential,
- Important function in new technology industries – they find application in hard drives, electric drives, diagnostic apparatus as well as technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and additionally enhances its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss 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 advisable to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the health of young users. Moreover, miniature parts from these devices can hinder health screening once in the system,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
The given holding capacity of the magnet corresponds to the highest holding force, measured in the best circumstances, 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
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by these factors, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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.
* Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and also crack. Remember not to move them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely delicate, they easily break as well as can become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest 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.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can shock you.
