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 weakens drastically with every subsequent millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, paint, veneer) significantly reduces the pull force. Magnetic products work most effectively in perfect adhesion; air break drastically cuts the power. Observe how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the product does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When planning the mounting, eliminate additional spacers.

The following data indicates the estimated force required to start the slippage of the magnet down against a upright steel wall (considering standard friction). This value is relative to the separation distance between the magnet and the surface.

When mounting a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it you can count on barely about 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient influence the fact that magnets slip faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a wall mount? Remember that the shear force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the holder will give way down under a much lighter load. Using a rubber coating can drastically increase the grip.

A too thin steel is not enough to conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the flux will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize 100% of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of metal. The material oversaturation means that on delicate walls (e.g., thin profiles), the product shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel cross-section according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums change their properties strength after exceeding the maximum temperature. Protect against heat – excessive heat can irreversibly damage this product. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity temporarily decreases. Do not use this product near heat sources higher than its working range. Ignoring the limit will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.
*Important note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Low-profile magnets (low permeance coefficient) may lose charge permanently sooner than long magnets. Red status in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnetic products interact from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet combination. The setup of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a wider radius of operation. Want to build a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is huge. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*The magnetic induction between like poles reaches ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
* Results show friction force of dual identical neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Extremely neodym field is a real danger to electronics as well as medical implants. These NdFeB products produce a field that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and glass. Special caution must be exercised by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, remotes, membranes, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or injury to fingers. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A collision at high speed ends with a crack of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when working with powerful specimens.

1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.49

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.

11.70 zł brutto / pcs
This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 13x10x5 mm and a weight of 4.88 g, guarantees premium class connection. This magnetic block with a force of 39.54 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. To separate the MPL 13x10x5 / N35H 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. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 4.03 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 13x10x5 / N35H, it is best to use 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 clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 13x10x5 / N35H model is magnetized axially (dimension 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 13x10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 4.88 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 4.03 kg (force ~39.54 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is extremely intense,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Due to the ability of accurate forming and adaptation to custom solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Real force is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Compass and GPS

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Adults only

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Handling guide

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Heat warning

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Allergy Warning

Some people experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We recommend wear safety gloves.

Physical harm

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
