1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.54

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.

Component MPL 20x5x5 / 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 43.32 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding 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 20x5x5 / 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 4.42 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. 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).
Standardly, the MPL 20x5x5 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 5 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 20x5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 3.75 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 4.42 kg (force ~43.32 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • In other words, due to the shiny finish of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are utilized in data components, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast 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 reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Bodily injuries

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

Dust is flammable

Powder produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Precision electronics

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Metal Allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Danger to pacemakers

Individuals with a heart stimulator have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Heat warning

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Respect the power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Caution! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
