Shopping tips
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are regularly used in products that need very strong attraction.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
In addition, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 60x20x10 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 27.36 kg weighing just 90 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes 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 placing them in devices, which can be 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. However, it's important to note 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 main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong 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. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, 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 or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They retain their attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and gold coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- They possess strong magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- 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 different geometries, which expands their application range,
- Key role in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in computer drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices along with other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in compact constructions
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and additionally strengthens its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose power when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (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 humid environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of polymer,
- Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the context of child safety. Furthermore, miniature parts from these products have the potential to interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet means the maximum lifting force, measured in a perfect environment, that is:
- 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
- under standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
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, because 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.
* Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can surprise you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Do not bring neodymium magnets 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 magnetic are extremely delicate, they easily break as well as can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. Magnets made of neodymium are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If you have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or a fracture.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy 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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
