Magnetic force decreases sharply per each millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, paint, veneer) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums operate most effectively at the point of direct contact; distance weakens the power. Analyze how flashily the load capacity plummet, when the product does not adhere flatly to the steel surface. When calculating the mounting, discard additional spacers.

This section defines the theoretical weight limit needed to start the shifting of the magnet down along a upright metal surface (assuming standard friction coefficient). The holding force is a function of the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 20x8x6 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	1.88 kg / 4.15 lbs 1881.0 g / 18.5 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	1.25 kg / 2.76 lbs 1254.0 g / 12.3 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.63 kg / 1.38 lbs 627.0 g / 6.2 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	3.14 kg / 6.91 lbs 3135.0 g / 30.8 N

When mounting a magnet on a vertical wall (e.g., a car body), it will maintain barely approx. 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravity and a low friction coefficient influence the fact that holders move down faster than they detach. Want to create a wall mount? Consider that the sliding force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a slippery surface, the magnet will slip down under a much lighter weight. Using a rubber pad can significantly raise the stability.

A thin sheet is incapable of take in the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. Should you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the flux will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve the maximum of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel thickness based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Protect against heat – excessive heat can irreversibly demagnetize this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's power temporarily lowers. Do not use this product close to ovens exceeding its operating temperature limit. Exceeding the critical threshold will cause irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a neodymium and metal setup. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a further horizon of action. Want to build a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the collision energy is massive. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still large.
*Field value in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Results show friction force of a pair of matching magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Extremely neodym field poses a real danger to electronic devices and medical implants. These magnets produce a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and plastic. Special caution must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a violent impact against metal risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or injury to fingers. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when working with powerful specimens.

Corrosion warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (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 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.

This product is an extremely strong 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 the highest quality 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.

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 20x8x6 / 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 wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 6.27 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization 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.

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 as well as weaknesses of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They do not lose power, even after around 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
In other words, due to the glossy finish of silver, the element looks attractive,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
Possibility of custom machining and optimizing to concrete requirements,
Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are used in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:

To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
NdFeB 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 very resistant to heat
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts 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

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:

with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
with a thickness no less than 10 mm
characterized by even structure
without any air gap between the magnet and steel
under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):

Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings

GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Allergic reactions

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Fire warning

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

No play value

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Do not underestimate power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Power loss in heat

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
