Pulling power weakens drastically with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, paint, veneer) noticeably weakens the grip. Neodymiums operate optimally during direct contact; distance weakens the power. Observe how flashily the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When planning the assembly, eliminate redundant distances.

The following data calculates the theoretical shear load necessary to initiate the slippage of the magnet vertically against a vertical steel wall (considering standard friction coefficient). This value is a function of the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - vertical pull
MPL 15x3x6 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.57 kg / 1.26 lbs 570.0 g / 5.6 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.38 kg / 0.84 lbs 380.0 g / 3.7 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.19 kg / 0.42 lbs 190.0 g / 1.9 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.95 kg / 2.09 lbs 950.0 g / 9.3 N

When placing a holder on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it will only hold barely approx. 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip mean that products move down faster than they pull off. Want to create a wall mount? Note that the shear force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a slippery surface, the holder will slip down under a significantly smaller weight. Using a rubber coating can significantly improve the result.

Table 4: Material efficiency (saturation) - sheet metal selection

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)

1 mm	25%	0.48 kg / 1.05 lbs 475.0 g / 4.7 N
2 mm	50%	0.95 kg / 2.09 lbs 950.0 g / 9.3 N
3 mm	75%	1.42 kg / 3.14 lbs 1425.0 g / 14.0 N
5 mm	100%	1.90 kg / 4.19 lbs 1900.0 g / 18.6 N
10 mm	100%	1.90 kg / 4.19 lbs 1900.0 g / 18.6 N
11 mm	100%	1.90 kg / 4.19 lbs 1900.0 g / 18.6 N
12 mm	100%	1.90 kg / 4.19 lbs 1900.0 g / 18.6 N

A thin metal plate is not enough to take in the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the field will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze full efficiency of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of steel. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the product holds weaker. We advise picking the steel thickness from these parameters.

Ordinary NdFeB products lose power above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this magnet. As the temperature rises, the neodymium's capacity momentarily decreases. Refrain from using this magnet in hot environments higher than its working range. Too high temperature will cause destruction of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Red status in the table signals permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal combination. Such a system of two magnets generates a stronger field and a larger range of performance. Designing a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a steel. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is huge. The levitation is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still large.
*The magnetic induction in repulsion mode is approximately ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Note: Figures refer to friction force of a pair of identical neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Powerful magnet radiation is a large risk to electronic devices as well as medical implants. These neodymiums generate a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation acts through matter and glass. Special caution must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

NdFeB products are prone to chipping – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to skin. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

Warning: Standard nickel requires drying after every contact with moisture; lack of maintenance will lead to rust spots.

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (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 P_c (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 P_c 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. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 1.90 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.

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 1.90 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.

Plate magnets MPL 15x3x6 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators 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, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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 15x3x6 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 6 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (15x3 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.90 kg (force ~18.68 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
In other words, due to the glossy surface of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Thanks to versatility in designing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
Huge importance in electronics industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

Holding force of 1.90 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under the following configuration:

using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
with an ideally smooth touching surface
without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in stable room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In practice, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from the most important:

Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings

Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Permanent damage

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

Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Keep away from computers

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Flammability

Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

No play value

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
