Magnetic force decreases drastically with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Note that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, paint, dust) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums hold strongest during direct contact; distance kills the force. Notice how flashily the pull force drop, when the magnet does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the arrangement, eliminate additional spacers.

This section shows the theoretical shear load required to initiate the shifting of the magnet down against a vertical steel wall (assuming typical friction). The holding force varies with the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

When placing a element on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it will maintain just about 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that holders slip easier than they detach. Want to create a wall mount? Note that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will give way down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Utilizing a rubberized coating can significantly increase the grip.

A thin sheet is incapable of focus the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. If you attach a powerful product to a weak sheet, the flux will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To utilize full efficiency of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick element of steel. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the product holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section based on the following data.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose power past the thermal threshold. Avoid high temperatures – heat can irreversibly demagnetize this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity briefly drops. Avoid using this product near heat sources higher than its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetism.
*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Flat magnets (pancake types) are more susceptible to demagnetization under lower heat stress than long magnets. Red status in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a much further distance than a magnet and steel combination. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a wider radius of performance. Want to build a strong closure? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the collision energy is extreme. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Field value between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Figures show shear force of a pair of matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Extremely neodym field is a real danger to electronic devices as well as medical implants. These magnets produce a flux that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and glass. Special caution must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

NdFeB products are very brittle – a violent impact against metal causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or dangerous crushing to fingers. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed means shattering of the magnet. Wear eye protection when working with powerful specimens.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.
1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.45

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.

Model MPL 200x30x30 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 287.38 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.
The key to success is sliding 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 287.38 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 200x30x30 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. 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. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 200x30x30 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 30 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 (200x30 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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: 200 mm (length), 30 mm (width), and 30 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 287.38 kg (force ~2819.19 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, 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 form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the potential of accurate molding and adaptation to unique projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are used in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Crushing force

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Fire risk

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Electronic hazard

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Do not underestimate power

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Swallowing risk

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
