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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

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 flat shape and industrial 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. 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 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 hidden locks 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 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 15x3x6 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 6 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.
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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • By using a shiny layer of nickel, the element presents an nice look,
  • Magnets have exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise modeling and modifying to individual applications,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Caution required

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Phone sensors

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

Mechanical processing

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Fragile material

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals have a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We suggest wear protective gloves.

This is not a toy

Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Pacemakers

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Data carriers

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
