1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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) = 0.79

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.

Magnetic Field

Other proposals

Model MPL 15x3x6 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic 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.
Plate magnets MPL 15x3x6 / 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. 1.90 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 15x3x6 / N38, 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
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. 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: 15 mm (length), 3 mm (width), and 6 mm (thickness). 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains impressive,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of individual modeling as well as adapting to defined applications,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • 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

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the limit force, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on many variables, ranked from the most important:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Health Danger

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Bodily injuries

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

No play value

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Eye protection

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Phone sensors

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Nickel allergy

Some people have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Mechanical processing

Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Safe distance

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Handling guide

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
