1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.14

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other proposals

Model MPL 25x15x2 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 18.53 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 1.89 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 1.89 kg), they are ideal as closers 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. Remember to roughen and wash 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (25x15 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: 25 mm (length), 15 mm (width), and 2 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.89 kg (force ~18.53 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, 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% (based on calculations),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the ability of free forming and adaptation to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • 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.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value conducted under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Keep away from computers

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Combustion hazard

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to the youngest

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Safe operation

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Bone fractures

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Maximum temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
