*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35

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.

Other offers

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 25x12.5x5 mm and a weight of 11.72 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular block with a force of 75.74 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 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 25x12.5x5 / 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. 7.72 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 25x12.5x5 / 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. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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 25x12.5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 11.72 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 7.72 kg (force ~75.74 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the possibility of accurate molding and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At very 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 force 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 extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis 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

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Magnet power was defined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on a number of factors, ranked from crucial:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

ICD Warning

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Machining danger

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

This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Powerful field

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Cards and drives

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
