1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.79

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.

Model MPL 15x3x6 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 18.68 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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 1.90 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 15x3x6 / N38, we recommend utilizing 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 roughen and wash 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. 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 15x3x6 mm, which, at a weight of 2.03 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 15x3x6 mm and a self-weight of 2.03 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over approximately 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains impressive,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate creating and adapting to specific requirements,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking 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 decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, measured under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Swallowing risk

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Bodily injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

GPS Danger

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Permanent damage

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We suggest wear protective gloves.
