1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.40

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.

Model MPL 15x15x5 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 5.87 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 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 5.87 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 15x15x5 / 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. 5.87 kg), they are ideal as closers 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.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. 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 15x15x5 / N38 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 15x15x5 mm, which, at a weight of 8.44 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 15x15x5 mm and a self-weight of 8.44 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a measurement result performed under the following configuration:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Data carriers

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

Respect the power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Product not for children

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Medical implants

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Heat sensitivity

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.

Danger! Details about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
