1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.54

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.

Field Strength

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 15x2x30 mm and a weight of 6.75 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.68 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is shifting the magnets along their largest connection plane (using e.g., the edge of a table), which is easier than trying to tear them apart directly. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 0.68 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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. 0.68 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 15x2x30 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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.
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (15x2 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 15x2x30 mm, which, at a weight of 6.75 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 15x2x30 mm and a self-weight of 6.75 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even during around ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By using a decorative coating of nickel, the element presents an aesthetic look,
  • Magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of individual shaping as well as optimizing to precise needs,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they are used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, 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 power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Holding force of 0.68 kg is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the working load may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.

Mechanical processing

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

Respect the power

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Danger to pacemakers

People with a pacemaker should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Keep away from electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Keep away from children

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Physical harm

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
