1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (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) = 0.52

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x15x10 mm and a weight of 33.75 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular block with a force of 165.22 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 strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 30x15x10 / 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 wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 30x15x10 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (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. 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 (30x15 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 30 mm (length), 15 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 30x15x10 mm and a self-weight of 33.75 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains impressive,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual machining as well as adjusting to specific applications,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Magnetic media

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Finger safety

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Choking Hazard

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Powerful field

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

GPS and phone interference

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Health Danger

Patients with a pacemaker should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Do not overheat magnets

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Nickel coating and allergies

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Do not drill into magnets

Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
