1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.52

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 a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 20x8x6 mm and a weight of 7.2 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 6.27 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 strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 20x8x6 / 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.
Plate magnets MPL 20x8x6 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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).
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 (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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 20x8x6 mm, which, at a weight of 7.2 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x8x6 mm and a self-weight of 7.2 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface looks better,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the potential of accurate shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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 extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength represents the peak performance, recorded under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Product not for children

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Demagnetization risk

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Phone sensors

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Fire risk

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

Magnets are brittle

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Nickel coating and allergies

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Physical harm

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

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
