Pulling power weakens sharply with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Keep in mind that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, paint, dust) strongly reduces the pull force. Magnetic products operate most effectively at the point of direct contact; distance drastically cuts the power. Observe how flashily the pull force drop, when the product does not touch directly to the steel surface. When calculating the arrangement, discard unnecessary gaps.

The following data calculates the theoretical shear load necessary to initiate the shifting of the magnet vertically on a upright steel wall (assuming typical friction). This value is a function of the distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 17x17x3 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.97 kg / 2.13 pounds 966.0 g / 9.5 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.64 kg / 1.42 pounds 644.0 g / 6.3 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.32 kg / 0.71 pounds 322.0 g / 3.2 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.61 kg / 3.55 pounds 1610.0 g / 15.8 N

When placing a magnet on a upright plane (e.g., a car body), it will maintain just about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that magnets slide down faster than they pop off the substrate. Want to create a vertical fastening? Remember that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the element will give way down under a noticeably lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized layer can significantly increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	3.22 kg / 7.10 pounds 3220.0 g / 31.6 N

A thin metal plate is not enough to conduct the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the field will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze full efficiency of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of metal. The saturation effect means that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the product works worse. We suggest choosing the steel thickness according to the table below.

Table 5: Working in heat (stability) - resistance threshold
MPL 17x17x3 / N38

Ambient temp. (°C)	Power loss	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status
20 °C	0.0%	3.22 kg / 7.10 pounds 3220.0 g / 31.6 N	OK
40 °C	-2.2%	3.15 kg / 6.94 pounds 3149.2 g / 30.9 N	OK
60 °C	-4.4%	3.08 kg / 6.79 pounds 3078.3 g / 30.2 N
80 °C	-6.6%	3.01 kg / 6.63 pounds 3007.5 g / 29.5 N
100 °C	-28.8%	2.29 kg / 5.05 pounds 2292.6 g / 22.5 N

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Watch out for overheating – heat can irreversibly damage this product. As the temperature rises, the neodymium's force temporarily drops. Refrain from using this product close to ovens exceeding its safe range. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Low-profile magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties sooner than taller cylinders. Red status in the table indicates 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 creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of operation. Designing a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is massive. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Estimates refer to shear force of dual identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Table 7: Safety (HSE) (implants) - precautionary measures

A strong magnetic field is a real danger to electronic devices and pacemakers. These magnets generate a field that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and plastic. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Kinetic force can destroy the magnet or injury to skin. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when playing with large magnets.

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

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.23

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.

Component MPL 17x17x3 / 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. 3.22 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. 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 3.22 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 17x17x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 17x17x3 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (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 17x17x3 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 3 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 (17x17 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.

This model is characterized by dimensions 17x17x3 mm, which, at a weight of 6.5 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 17x17x3 mm and a self-weight of 6.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Pros

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

They do not lose strength, even after approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
By covering with a shiny layer of nickel, the element has an proper look,
They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to modify to individual projects,
Huge importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?

Holding force of 3.22 kg is a measurement result executed under the following configuration:

using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
with an polished contact surface
with total lack of distance (no impurities)
under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:

Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Demagnetization risk

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Material brittleness

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

Safe operation

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

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not drill into magnets

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Threat to navigation

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Hand protection

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
