Frequently asked questions

How much will a block magnet really hold?
The catalogue force is measured in full contact with smooth steel at least 10 mm thick, pulled perpendicular, at about 20 °C. On 1 mm sheet about 50% of that value remains, on 0.5 mm about 25%. Mounted on a vertical wall the realistic figure is 20–30%, because the load is then in shear rather than in tension.
What is the maximum working temperature?
Standard N-series grades up to 80 °C, and N50, N52 and N54 up to 60 °C. Above the maximum working temperature the loss stops being reversible. The Curie temperature, at which magnetic properties are lost completely, is about 310 °C.
What safety factor should I allow?
At least twice the mass of the item, and three to five times for vertical mounting. The margin covers sheet thickness, surface condition, any layer of paint or rust, and vibration.

Pulling power decreases sharply with every mm of gap. Keep in mind that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, varnish, veneer) strongly weakens the grip. Magnets operate optimally in perfect adhesion; air break kills the power. Notice how rapidly the parameters drop, when the magnet does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, discard unnecessary gaps.

When hanging a element on a upright wall (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on just approx. 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that holders move down easier than they detach. Want to create a wall mount? Note that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slide down under a significantly smaller load. Utilizing a rubberized layer can effectively increase the grip.

A thin sheet is incapable of take in the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the holder. Should you attach a powerful product to a thin surface, the flux will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve full efficiency of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation phenomenon means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet shows lower pull force. We suggest choosing the steel dimension based on the following data.

Classic neodymiums change their properties power above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – heat can permanently damage this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's force temporarily drops. Do not use this magnet close to heaters higher than its operating temperature limit. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.
*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (low Pc) are more susceptible to demagnetization under lower heat stress than long magnets. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet combination. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a larger range of action. Planning to create a solid fastener? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Note: Calculations apply to sliding force of two identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

A strong magnetic field is a large risk to electronics as well as pacemakers. These magnets produce a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and housings. Special caution must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, remotes, speakers, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

NdFeB products are prone to chipping – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during installation so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when working with powerful specimens.

1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The Pc (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher Pc value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

Model MPL 10x7x3 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 19.82 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding the magnets along their largest connection plane (using e.g., the edge of a table), which is easier than trying to tear them apart directly. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 2.02 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x7x3 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 10x7x3 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 3 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 10x7x3 mm, which, at a weight of 1.58 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.02 kg (force ~19.82 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the real power is determined by many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Safe distance

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Allergy Warning

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or select encased magnets.

GPS and phone interference

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Do not give to children

Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
