1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

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

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 20x10x1 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 5.46 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block 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 0.56 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.56 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
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. 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 (20x10 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 20x10x1 mm, which, at a weight of 1.5 g, makes it an element with impressive 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 as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • 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...
  • Considering the possibility of accurate forming and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they find application in HDD drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the real power results from a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.

Impact on smartphones

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Safe operation

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

Do not give to children

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Cards and drives

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

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
