Grip strength weakens sharply with every mm of distance. Keep in mind that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, varnish, veneer) strongly diminishes the holding power. Magnets hold strongest in perfect adhesion; air break kills the power. Notice how rapidly the parameters fall, when the magnet does not adhere tightly to the steel surface. When designing the assembly, eliminate redundant distances.

The table below defines the estimated holding capacity necessary to cause the shifting of the magnet downwards on a upright steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). The holding force is a function of the separation distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - vertical pull
MPL 15x5x5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.96 kg / 2.12 pounds 960.0 g / 9.4 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.64 kg / 1.41 pounds 640.0 g / 6.3 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.32 kg / 0.71 pounds 320.0 g / 3.1 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.60 kg / 3.53 pounds 1600.0 g / 15.7 N

When hanging a holder on a upright plane (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on only approx. 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip mean that products move down easier than they pull off. Designing a wall mount? Note that the shear force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the holder will give way down under a significantly smaller load. Using a rubber pad can effectively increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	3.20 kg / 7.05 pounds 3200.0 g / 31.4 N

A too thin steel is not enough to absorb the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the flux will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve full efficiency of this neodymium's potential, you need a suitably thick piece of steel. The saturation phenomenon means that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the product shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel thickness from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets lose parameters past the thermal threshold. Avoid high temperatures – heat can permanently destroy this magnet. With increasing heat, the neodymium's capacity temporarily decreases. Refrain from using this magnet close to ovens higher than its safe range. Too high temperature will cause destruction of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Flat magnets (low Pc) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnets interact from a much further distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The setup of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a larger range of performance. Want to build a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the collision energy is extreme. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still large.
*Field value between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Calculations apply to sliding force of dual matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

A strong magnetic field is a serious hazard to IT equipment as well as medical implants. These NdFeB products generate a field that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and plastic. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or injury to fingers. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Use safety goggles when playing with powerful specimens.

Warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (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 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.

16.68 ZŁ brutto / pcs

This product is an extremely strong 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. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 3.20 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects 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. To separate the MPL 15x5x5 / 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.

Plate magnets MPL 15x5x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 3.20 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization 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. 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 15x5x5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 5 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. 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 impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 15x5x5 mm and a self-weight of 2.81 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?

Holding force of 3.20 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under standard conditions:

on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
with a thickness of at least 10 mm
characterized by smoothness
with total lack of distance (no coatings)
during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ subject to the following factors, in order of importance:

Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Base massiveness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Maximum temperature

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Phone sensors

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Implant safety

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Allergic reactions

Some people have a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. It is best to wear protective gloves.
