Magnetic force weakens significantly per each millimeter of spacing. Remember that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) significantly reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold optimally in perfect adhesion; distance weakens the power. Notice how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the arrangement, discard additional spacers.

The following data defines the estimated force necessary to cause the slippage of the magnet vertically on a upright steel wall (assuming typical friction). This parameter varies with the distance between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 20x10x1 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.17 kg / 0.37 pounds 168.0 g / 1.6 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.11 kg / 0.25 pounds 112.0 g / 1.1 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.06 kg / 0.12 pounds 56.0 g / 0.5 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.28 kg / 0.62 pounds 280.0 g / 2.7 N

When mounting a magnet on a vertical plane (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on just approx. 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip influence the fact that holders slide down easier than they pop off the substrate. Designing a hanger? Remember that the sliding force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will slide down under a much lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized layer can effectively raise the stability.

12 mm	100%	0.56 kg / 1.23 pounds 560.0 g / 5.5 N

A too thin steel cannot conduct the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. Should you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the magnetism will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To utilize 100% of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick element of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the magnet holds weaker. We advise picking the steel cross-section according to the table below.

Table 5: Thermal resistance (material behavior) - thermal limit
MPL 20x10x1 / N38

100 °C	-28.8%	0.40 kg / 0.88 pounds 398.7 g / 3.9 N

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose parameters past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can permanently damage this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity briefly decreases. Avoid using this product close to ovens exceeding its working range. Ignoring the limit will cause permanent loss of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a wider radius than a magnet and steel setup. The setup of two magnets produces a massive flux and a wider radius of operation. Want to build a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the collision energy is huge. The levitation is slightly lower than the attraction, but still significant.
*Field value in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Attention: Calculations demonstrate shear force of a pair of matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Powerful magnet radiation poses a serious hazard to electronics and pacemakers. These NdFeB products generate a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and glass. Special caution must be taken by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and screens. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Impact energy (cracking risk) - collision effects
MPL 20x10x1 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	19.88 km/h (5.52 m/s)	0.02 J
30 mm	33.76 km/h (9.38 m/s)	0.07 J
50 mm	43.57 km/h (12.10 m/s)	0.11 J
100 mm	61.62 km/h (17.12 m/s)	0.22 J

NdFeB products are very brittle – a strong collision with metal causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to skin. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A collision at high speed ends with a crack of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

Warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.10

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.

0.701 ZŁ brutto / pcs

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 20x10x1 mm and a weight of 1.5 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 0.56 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects 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. To separate the MPL 20x10x1 / 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 fasteners 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.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 20x10x1 / N38, it is best to use 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. 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 20x10x1 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 1 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.

This model is characterized by dimensions 20x10x1 mm, which, at a weight of 1.5 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x10x1 mm and a self-weight of 1.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
By covering with a decorative coating of silver, the element has an modern look,
They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Possibility of exact shaping as well as modifying to precise needs,
Significant place in electronics industry – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the peak performance, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:

on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
with an ideally smooth contact surface
under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Real force is affected by specific conditions, including (from most important):

Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets

Mechanical processing

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Pinching danger

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Handling guide

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Maximum temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Electronic hazard

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
