1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 0.52

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 20x8x6 / 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 61.50 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 6.27 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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 fasteners 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. 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 20x8x6 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 6 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (20x8 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 20 mm (length), 8 mm (width), and 6 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 6.27 kg (force ~61.50 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even after approximately ten years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of precise forming and customization to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the peak performance, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Caution required

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

This is not a toy

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

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Hand protection

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Life threat

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

Do not drill into magnets

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Threat to electronics

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
