Buying magnets: How to find the right magnet
If you want to buy magnets, the choice can be overwhelming as there are many different types, shapes and strengths. To ensure you find the right magnet for your specific needs, there are some important factors to consider. Here are some helpful tips to help you make the best choice:
- Determine the intended use
- Choose the right type of magnet
- Consider the holding force
- Pay attention to the size and shape (dimension)
- Consider temperature range and corrosion resistance for the required application
Choosing the right magnet depends on various factors, including intended use, magnet type, holding force and environmental conditions. These tips will help you find the right super magnet, office magnet or magnetic sheet. If you would prefer personalised advice, our team of experts is available by phone or email.
What 3 types of magnets are there?
There are three main types of magnets: Permanent magnets, temporary magnets and electromagnets. Permanent magnets generate a permanent magnetic field, while temporary magnets are only magnetic when they are exposed to an external magnetic field. Electromagnets require an electric current to have a magnetic effect. They can be switched on and off. Each type of magnet has its own advantages and disadvantages for the respective area of application.
Which magnet is the strongest magnet?
The strongest magnet currently available is the neodymium magnet (NdFeB). This type of permanent magnet is made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron and offers exceptionally high forces.
Which holds better: magnet on magnet or magnet on metal?
The holding force of a magnet depends on several factors, including the type of magnet, the surface it is attached to and the specific application. In general, magnets adhere better to metal than to other magnets. When a magnet adheres to a metal object, the entire contact area between the magnet and the metal is used, which maximises the holding force.
When do magnets lose their effect?
Under certain conditions, magnets can lose their magnetic properties. This occurs when the temperature is too high, mechanical impacts such as shocks or impacts, corrosion, external magnetic fields, excessive storage or wear due to ageing.
Permanent magnets: lasting power for a wide range of applications
Permanent magnets are made of a material that generates a permanent magnetic field. They retain their magnetic properties over long periods of time. Unlike temporary or electromagnets, permanent magnets do not require an external current or magnetic field to retain their attractive force. If you want to buy magnets, you should distinguish between the following three types of permanent magnets:
- Neodymium magnets: Very strong and compact, often used in applications where high adhesive force is required.
- Ferrite magnets: Inexpensive, corrosion-resistant and often used in household products.
- Alnico magnets: Made from an alloy of aluminium, nickel and cobalt, known for their high temperature resistance.
These magnets impress with their high magnetic force. Depending on the material and size, they exhibit varying degrees of magnetism. Neodymium magnets, the super magnets, have the strongest adhesive force. Depending on the material, the temperature at which the magnets retain their magnetisation also varies. While some can still be operated at high temperatures, others become demagnetised when overheated. Our neodymium magnets have a strong protective coating, which significantly increases their service life. Permanent magnets are used in the following areas:- Household appliances as refrigerator magnets and door latches
- Industry as motors, generators and sensors
- Technology as loudspeakers, hard drives and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Craft and hobby projects for use in DIY projects
Permanent magnets are fascinating in their properties and are convincing in numerous areas of application. The neodymium material allows the magnetism to persist over long periods of time and ensures enormously high adhesive force at a low price. You can find a large selection of ferrite, neodymium and alnico magnets online in our magnet shop.
Temporary magnets: Flexible magnetic force for dynamic applications
Temporary magnets are materials that are only magnetic when they are exposed to an external magnetic field. They lose their magnetisation as soon as the external magnetic field is removed. They consist of ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel or cobalt, which can conduct and temporarily store magnetic fields. Temporary magnets are relatively easy to manufacture and can be produced in various shapes and sizes. You can find them online in our magnet shop as electromagnets for relays, motors and crane equipment, magnetic shields and fastening components in certain tools.
Electromagnets: controllable magnetic force for innovative applications
Electromagnets generate a special magnetic field when an electric current flows through a wire wound around a ferromagnetic core. Unlike permanent magnets, which retain their magnetisation permanently, electromagnets can be switched on and off, giving them a high degree of flexibility and controllability.
Electromagnets are made of copper wire and a ferromagnetic material such as iron, which amplifies the magnetic force. As the electric current flows through the wire, heat can be generated. It is therefore important to design electromagnets in such a way that they do not overheat. Typical areas of application for electromagnets are
- Relays to control switching operations
- Motors in which they generate rotary movements
- Crane systems to lift and move heavy metallic objects
- Magnetic locks to lock doors or windows<
-
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to generate the strong magnetic field required for diagnostic imaging technology
Flexible magnetic foils
Magnetic foils are available in neodymium and ferrite versions. They are preferably used for simple closing systems such as fly screens or as magnetic boards. The flexible material allows for curves and can therefore be used optimally. The material is also particularly popular for whiteboards or magnetic pinboards, as it can be attached to almost any surface. The self-adhesive version is ideal for walls, doors or furniture, while the magnetic version is often used for shelves or other ferromagnetic surfaces.Quality that convinces: Why MagnetMax is the first choice
