1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.13

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.

Model MPL 30x15x2 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 20.74 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.
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 30x15x2 / 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 30x15x2 / 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. 2.11 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 30x15x2 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 30x15x2 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 2 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 30 mm (length), 15 mm (width), and 2 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 30x15x2 mm and a self-weight of 6.75 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is maximum,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Due to the possibility of precise molding and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, precision medical tools, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value executed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Keep away from electronics

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Electronic hazard

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Medical implants

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Hand protection

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Handling rules

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.
