1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical 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 a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x15x10 mm and a weight of 33.75 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 16.84 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 30x15x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 16.84 kg), they are ideal as closers 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 30x15x10 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 10 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 30x15x10 mm, which, at a weight of 33.75 g, makes it an element with high energy density. 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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • By using a decorative layer of silver, the element presents an professional look,
  • Magnets are characterized by huge magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of precise forming and customization to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by several key aspects, presented from crucial:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Product not for children

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

Handling guide

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Allergy Warning

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and select encased magnets.

Bone fractures

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Fire warning

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

Implant safety

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
