1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

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

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 100x40x20 mm and a weight of 600 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 1177.33 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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. To separate the MPL 100x40x20 / 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.
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 clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 100x40x20 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 20 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 100 mm (length), 40 mm (width), and 20 mm (thickness). 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 protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • In view of the option of accurate shaping and adaptation to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

Holding force of 120.01 kg is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Holding efficiency is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Respect the power

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Danger to the youngest

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Machining danger

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Allergy Warning

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Precision electronics

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Medical interference

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Cards and drives

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Thermal limits

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Serious injuries

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
