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.

Grip strength weakens drastically with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, varnish, rust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnetic products work optimally at the point of direct contact; air break weakens the force. Analyze how flashily the pull force plummet, when the product does not adhere directly to the metal substrate. When designing the assembly, eliminate additional spacers.

The following data presents the theoretical shear load needed to initiate the slippage of the magnet vertically on a upright metal surface (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter varies with the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - vertical pull

Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.64 kg / 1.41 lbs 640.0 g / 6.3 N

When mounting a holder on a upright surface (e.g., a fridge), it will only hold barely approx. 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravity and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that magnets move down easier than they pull off. Want to create a hanger? Note that the sliding force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the element will slip down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Using a rubber pad can effectively raise the stability.

A too thin steel is not enough to take in the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. Should you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the field will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize 100% of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick backing of metal. The material oversaturation means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet holds weaker. We recommend selecting the steel cross-section based on the following data.

Standard neodymium magnets lose parameters past the thermal threshold. Protect against heat – heat can permanently demagnetize this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's power briefly decreases. Avoid using this product close to heaters higher than its operating temperature limit. Ignoring the limit will cause destruction of magnetism.

*Important note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Flat magnets (pancake types) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner than taller cylinders. Warning indicator in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. Such a system of two magnets generates a stronger field and a wider radius of action. Designing a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the collision energy is massive. The levitation is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Figures demonstrate shear force of a pair of matching magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

A strong magnetic field poses a large risk to electronics as well as pacemakers. These magnets generate a field that destroys function of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and plastic. Special caution must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are delicate – a strong collision with metal causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to fingers. Always hold the magnet during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A collision at high speed means shattering of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when working with powerful specimens.

Corrosion warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.60

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 P_c (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 P_c 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.

MPL 50x50x10 / N38 - lamellar magnet

42.88 zł brutto / pcs

Model MPL 15x5x5 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 3.20 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.

Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 15x5x5 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.

Plate magnets MPL 15x5x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 15x5x5 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).

Standardly, the MPL 15x5x5 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 5 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 15x5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 2.81 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 3.20 kg (force ~31.38 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to customize to client solutions,
Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength refers to the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:

on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
with an ideally smooth contact surface
under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):

Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets

Handling guide

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

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Heat sensitivity

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Dust is flammable

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Finger safety

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

GPS Danger

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.

Health Danger

Patients with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Data carriers

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
