1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 12.5x12.5x5 mm and a weight of 5.86 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular block with a force of 47.51 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 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 4.84 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 12.5x12.5x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 4.84 kg), they are ideal as closers 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 12.5x12.5x5 / 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. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 12.5x12.5x5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 5 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 (12.5x12.5 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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: 12.5 mm (length), 12.5 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 4.84 kg (force ~47.51 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths
Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Cons
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these devices 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 increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, ranked from the most important:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Conscious usage

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Protect data

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

Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

GPS and phone interference

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Mechanical processing

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
