1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the safety 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.

Other deals

Model MPL 20x20x20 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 151.12 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.
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 20x20x20 / 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
They constitute a key element in the production of 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.
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).
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 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 protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • In other words, due to the reflective finish of gold, the element gains a professional look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of individual modeling as well as adapting to individual conditions,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they are used in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Magnet power was defined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

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 lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Metal Allergy

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.

Protect data

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

Phone sensors

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Implant safety

Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Machining danger

Dust created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Safe operation

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
