1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.76

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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 25x2x6 mm and a weight of 2.25 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 22.82 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 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. To separate the MPL 25x2x6 / 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 generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 2.33 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 25x2x6 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (25x2 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 25x2x6 mm, which, at a weight of 2.25 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 25x2x6 mm and a self-weight of 2.25 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and adapting to individual requirements,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in HDD drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease 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. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual holding force is determined by several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Handling guide

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Heat sensitivity

Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Beware of splinters

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Health Danger

Patients with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Avoid contact if allergic

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Threat to navigation

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
