Magnetic force decreases significantly per each millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, paint, veneer) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums hold most effectively in perfect adhesion; air break drastically cuts the power. See how flashily the pull force fall, when the magnet does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, avoid unnecessary gaps.

This section defines the theoretical force needed to cause the shifting of the magnet vertically on a upright steel plate (considering typical friction). This value depends on the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 20x5x5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	1.33 kg / 2.92 lbs 1326.0 g / 13.0 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.88 kg / 1.95 lbs 884.0 g / 8.7 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.44 kg / 0.97 lbs 442.0 g / 4.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	2.21 kg / 4.87 lbs 2210.0 g / 21.7 N

When placing a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will maintain barely about 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient cause that holders slide down faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a wall mount? Consider that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a slippery surface, the magnet will slide down under a significantly smaller load. Utilizing a rubberized pad can significantly increase the grip.

3 mm	75%	3.32 kg / 7.31 lbs 3315.0 g / 32.5 N
5 mm	100%	4.42 kg / 9.74 lbs 4420.0 g / 43.4 N

11 mm	100%	4.42 kg / 9.74 lbs 4420.0 g / 43.4 N
12 mm	100%	4.42 kg / 9.74 lbs 4420.0 g / 43.4 N

A too thin steel is unable to absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the field will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze the maximum of this neodymium's power, you need a suitably thick piece of steel. The saturation effect means that on delicate walls (e.g., car bodies), the magnet holds weaker. We advise picking the steel cross-section according to the table below.

Table 5: Working in heat (material behavior) - resistance threshold
MPL 20x5x5 / N38

Ambient temp. (°C)	Power loss	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status
20 °C	0.0%	4.42 kg / 9.74 lbs 4420.0 g / 43.4 N	OK
40 °C	-2.2%	4.32 kg / 9.53 lbs 4322.8 g / 42.4 N	OK
60 °C	-4.4%	4.23 kg / 9.32 lbs 4225.5 g / 41.5 N
80 °C	-6.6%	4.13 kg / 9.10 lbs 4128.3 g / 40.5 N
100 °C	-28.8%	3.15 kg / 6.94 lbs 3147.0 g / 30.9 N

Classic neodymiums change their properties parameters past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – excessive heat can permanently damage this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity momentarily lowers. Refrain from using this magnet in hot environments exceeding its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.

*Important note: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties sooner than taller cylinders. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet setup. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of performance. Want to build a powerful holder? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the connection force, but still impressive.
*The magnetic induction for N-N configuration drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
* Figures show friction force of dual matching magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation poses a large risk to IT equipment as well as pacemakers. These magnets produce a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and housings. Special caution must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. The risk also applies to: mechanical watches, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Impact energy (kinetic energy) - collision effects
MPL 20x5x5 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	34.73 km/h (9.65 m/s)	0.17 J
30 mm	59.97 km/h (16.66 m/s)	0.52 J
50 mm	77.42 km/h (21.51 m/s)	0.87 J
100 mm	109.49 km/h (30.41 m/s)	1.73 J

Magnetic elements are prone to chipping – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or dangerous crushing to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Use safety goggles when handling with large magnets.

Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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 P_c (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 P_c 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 20x5x5 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 4.42 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.

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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 4.42 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.

Plate magnets MPL 20x5x5 / 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. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 20x5x5 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (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. 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (20x5 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.

This model is characterized by dimensions 20x5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 3.75 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x5x5 mm and a self-weight of 3.75 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
Magnets are characterized by maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in HDD drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. 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 weakening 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 very resistant to heat
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics 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

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Holding force of 4.42 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under the following configuration:

on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
characterized by smoothness
without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Bear in mind that the application force will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:

Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets

Health Danger

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

No play value

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Caution required

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.

Electronic hazard

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Allergy Warning

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for coated magnets.

Keep away from electronics

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Fire risk

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Finger safety

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Beware of splinters

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Danger! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
