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.

Pulling power decreases sharply per each millimeter of spacing. Remember that even the smallest gap (e.g., contamination, paint, veneer) significantly weakens the grip. Magnets work strongest during direct contact; distance nullifies the power. Analyze how rapidly the parameters plummet, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When calculating the assembly, eliminate additional spacers.

The table below shows the approximate weight limit needed to initiate the slippage of the magnet down on a upright steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter is a function of the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - vertical pull
MPL 10x10x4 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.93 kg / 2.05 pounds 930.0 g / 9.1 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.62 kg / 1.37 pounds 620.0 g / 6.1 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.31 kg / 0.68 pounds 310.0 g / 3.0 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.55 kg / 3.42 pounds 1550.0 g / 15.2 N

When mounting a element on a upright plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold just about 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient influence the fact that holders slide down faster than they pull off. Planning a hanger? Consider that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the element will slip down under a much lighter weight. Application of an anti-slip coating can effectively increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	3.10 kg / 6.83 pounds 3100.0 g / 30.4 N

A thin metal plate is not enough to conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you attach a powerful product to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze full efficiency of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the holder shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel thickness according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums change their properties strength after exceeding the maximum temperature. Avoid high temperatures – excessive heat can irreversibly destroy this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's capacity briefly lowers. Avoid using this magnet close to ovens higher than its safe range. Too high temperature will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Important note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Thin magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnetic products interact from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. The connection of two magnets generates a stronger field and a wider radius of performance. Designing a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is massive. The levitation is slightly lower than the connection force, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction for N-N configuration reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Note: Estimates demonstrate sliding force of dual identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Powerful magnet radiation is a real danger to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a flux that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and plastic. Special caution must be taken by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Impact energy (kinetic energy) - collision effects
MPL 10x10x4 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	24.69 km/h (6.86 m/s)	0.07 J

50 mm	24.82 km/h (6.89 m/s)	0.07 J
100 mm	24.83 km/h (6.90 m/s)	0.07 J

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to fingers. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed ends with a crack of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when working with large magnets.

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

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46

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 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.

Model MPL 10x10x4 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 30.39 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.

Separating strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 10x10x4 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, 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 generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x10x4 / 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).

The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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.

The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 10 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 4 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 10x10x4 mm and a self-weight of 3 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external fields,
A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
Magnets are distinguished by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
Significant place in future technologies – they find application in data components, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them

Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, including:

with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
with an ground touching surface
without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by many variables, presented from the most important:

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 – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
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.
Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Protect data

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Safe operation

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.

Adults only

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

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Phone sensors

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Crushing risk

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Power loss in heat

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
