1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.38

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.

Other offers

Model MPL 100x40x20 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 1177.33 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 120.01 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 100x40x20 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 120.01 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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 100x40x20 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (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).
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (100x40 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 100x40x20 mm, which, at a weight of 600 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 100x40x20 mm and a self-weight of 600 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By applying a smooth layer of gold, the element gains an modern look,
  • Magnets are distinguished by huge magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact modeling as well as modifying to complex conditions,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, also complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 120.01 kg is a result of laboratory testing conducted under standard conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Respect the power

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Choking Hazard

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Physical harm

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
