1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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

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 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 an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 20x20x20 mm and a weight of 60 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 15.40 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.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 20x20x20 / 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 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. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. 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 20x20x20 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 20 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 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to the possibility of free forming and customization to individualized solutions, magnetic components can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are used in data components, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

Holding force of 15.40 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Key elements affecting lifting force

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – 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 parallel forces 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.

H&S for magnets
Do not give to children

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Powder created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Immense force

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Demagnetization risk

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Avoid contact if allergic

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Data carriers

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