Frequently asked questions

What pull rating should I choose for a workshop block magnet?
A catalogue pull rating is measured under stated test conditions. A painted or thin steel surface, a gap or a load acting along the surface can reduce the practical grip. Choose a margin based on the actual installation and read the product card.
Are block neodymium magnets available in more durable versions?
Sintered NdFeB is brittle and can corrode if its coating is damaged. Check the coating and operating-temperature limit of the selected product. A housing may help protect a magnet in an application exposed to impacts.
How should I choose block magnets for mounting a structure?
First check the steel grade and thickness, then any gap created by paint or dirt, and finally the direction of the applied load. Compare these conditions with the specifications of the selected magnet; do not rely on grade alone.

1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

N38: the maximum material working temperature is 80°C. Permitted conditions also depend on the shape and magnetic circuit.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.54

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Magnet pull force


Magnetic Induction

See also deals

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 60x60x30 mm and a weight of 810 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 1278.39 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 60x60x30 / 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 60x60x30 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 30 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 60x60x30 mm, which, at a weight of 810 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 130.36 kg (force ~1278.39 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • In view of the ability of free forming and adaptation to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, also industrial machines.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the actual lifting capacity is determined by several key aspects, ranked from most significant:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Skin irritation risks

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Finger safety

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Permanent damage

Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature stated in the specifications of the particular product. The limit depends on the material, geometry and operating arrangement; there is no single threshold for all neodymium magnets. Overheating can permanently weaken a magnet.

Conscious usage

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Dust is flammable

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Keep away from children

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Important! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
