1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.84

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.

Field Strength

Other products

Model MPL 20x20x20 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 151.12 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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 15.40 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 20x20x20 / 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. 15.40 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.
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. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 20x20x20 mm, which, at a weight of 60 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x20x20 mm and a self-weight of 60 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
GPS Danger

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

Handling rules

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

Danger to pacemakers

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

Swallowing risk

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Fire warning

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Metal Allergy

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.

Hand protection

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Beware of splinters

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
