Grip strength weakens drastically per each millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, paint, rust) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums operate strongest during direct contact; gap drastically cuts the power. Observe how rapidly the load capacity plummet, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When designing the assembly, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The table below indicates the approximate holding capacity required to initiate the downward movement of the magnet downwards against a upright steel plate (assuming standard friction coefficient). This parameter varies with the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 10x4x1.5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.26 kg / 0.58 lbs 264.0 g / 2.6 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.18 kg / 0.39 lbs 176.0 g / 1.7 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.09 kg / 0.19 lbs 88.0 g / 0.9 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.44 kg / 0.97 lbs 440.0 g / 4.3 N

When hanging a element on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold barely about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that magnets slip easier than they detach. Planning a hanger? Note that the shear force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the element will give way down under a significantly smaller weight. Utilizing a rubberized pad can effectively improve the result.

12 mm	100%	0.88 kg / 1.94 lbs 880.0 g / 8.6 N

A thin metal plate is not enough to focus the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the magnet. Should you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the flux will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation phenomenon means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the product shows lower pull force. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Ordinary NdFeB products change their properties strength above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – heat can irreversibly damage this product. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity temporarily decreases. Avoid using this product in hot environments exceeding its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to destruction of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Thin magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel combination. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a larger range of operation. Want to build a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the collision energy is huge. The levitation is slightly lower than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Calculations show shear force of a pair of identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

A strong magnetic field is a serious hazard to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These magnets generate a field that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Be aware: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and housings. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during installation so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when handling with large magnets.

Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.30

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 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.

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 10x4x1.5 mm and a weight of 0.45 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.88 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. 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 10x4x1.5 / 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.

Plate magnets MPL 10x4x1.5 / 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. 0.88 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.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x4x1.5 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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 10x4x1.5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 1.5 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: 10 mm (length), 4 mm (width), and 1.5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.88 kg (force ~8.65 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

Their power remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Due to the ability of flexible forming and customization to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
Wide application in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 resistant to moisture
We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, namely:

using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
characterized by even structure
under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):

Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets

Swallowing risk

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Permanent damage

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Electronic hazard

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Risk of cracking

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and select coated magnets.

Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Physical harm

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

Respect the power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Mechanical processing

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
