1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp 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.

Magnetic Induction

See also proposals

Component MPL 30x15x2 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 20.69 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 block 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 2.11 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 2.11 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. Remember to clean and degrease 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 30x15x2 mm, which, at a weight of 6.75 g, makes it an element with high energy density. 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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their tremendous strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even over nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to customize to client solutions,
  • Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 2.11 kg is a measurement result performed under the following configuration:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by several key aspects, listed from the most important:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Powerful field

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Danger to the youngest

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Phone sensors

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Demagnetization risk

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Physical harm

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.

Machining danger

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Medical interference

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
