1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.60

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 Induction

Other proposals

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 15x5x5 mm and a weight of 2.81 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 31.43 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.
Separating strong flat 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 3.20 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 3.20 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (15x5 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 15x5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 2.81 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 3.20 kg (force ~31.43 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise creating and adjusting to complex requirements,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Precision electronics

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.

No play value

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Data carriers

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Warning for allergy sufferers

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Respect the power

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Fire warning

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Finger safety

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Medical interference

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
