1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, 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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other products

Component MPL 15x3x6 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 1.90 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
Separating strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 15x3x6 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind 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 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. 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets have very high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom machining and adapting to atypical needs,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the real power is determined by several key aspects, ranked from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Medical interference

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Caution required

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Electronic hazard

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

No play value

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Hand protection

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