1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Component MPL 30x10x5 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 87.23 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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 30x10x5 / 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.
Plate magnets MPL 30x10x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 30x10x5 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 30x10x5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 5 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 (30x10 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 30x10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 11.25 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 8.89 kg (force ~87.23 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element gains visual value,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • 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 designing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

In real-world applications, the real power depends on several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Risk of cracking

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Immense force

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Bone fractures

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

This is not a toy

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Some people have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. It is best to use safety gloves.
