1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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.

Model MPL 20x20x20 / N38 features a low profile 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.
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. 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 magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 20x20x20 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (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.
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 high 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom forming as well as adapting to individual conditions,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • 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:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with direct contact (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Medical implants

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Handling rules

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
