1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces 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) = 0.51

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.

Other products

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x10x8 mm and a weight of 18 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 119.04 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 30x10x8 / 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 12.13 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.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 30x10x8 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 8 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. 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 30x10x8 mm, which, at a weight of 18 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 12.13 kg (force ~119.04 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the reflective surface of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnets are distinguished by excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to 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

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Health Danger

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

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Swallowing risk

Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Do not overheat magnets

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Respect the power

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

Safe distance

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
