*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the critical 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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 100x40x20 mm and a weight of 600 g, guarantees premium class 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 protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is shifting 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 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 hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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. 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 100x40x20 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 20 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (100x40 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 120.01 kg (force ~1177.33 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • By covering with a reflective layer of nickel, the element presents an modern look,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • 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 capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they find application in magnetic memories, brushless drives, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing conducted under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (no impurities)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Crushing force

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

ICD Warning

Individuals with a ICD should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.

Danger to the youngest

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

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or select encased magnets.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Dust explosion hazard

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Magnetic interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
