chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42

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.

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 20x10x5 mm and a weight of 7.5 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 6.15 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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 20x10x5 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, 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 20x10x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 6.15 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks 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).
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 20 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x10x5 mm and a self-weight of 7.5 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.

Pros

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnets are distinguished by huge magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In practice, the real power is determined by a number of factors, presented from most significant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Handling rules

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Magnetic interference

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Implant safety

People with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Demagnetization risk

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Threat to electronics

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
