1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.14

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.

Model MPL 25x15x2 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 1.89 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf 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 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 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.
Plate magnets MPL 25x15x2 / 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. 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 25x15x2 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 2 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 (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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 25x15x2 mm, which, at a weight of 5.63 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.89 kg (force ~18.53 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 rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, motor assemblies, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Holding force of 1.89 kg is a measurement result executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In real-world applications, the actual holding force is determined by several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • 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 perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Heat warning

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

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Crushing force

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Handling rules

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

No play value

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Keep away from electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. It is best to wear protective gloves.
