1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

Model MPL 30x15x2 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 2.11 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding the magnets along their largest connection plane (using e.g., the edge of a table), which is easier than trying to tear them apart directly. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 2.11 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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 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). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.11 kg (force ~20.74 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnets possess excellent magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely 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 the possibility of flexible shaping and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 stability even at temperatures 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 protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown represents the limit force, obtained under optimal environment, namely:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
ICD Warning

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Dust is flammable

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Choking Hazard

Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Sensitization to coating

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Powerful field

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Keep away from computers

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
