1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, 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.

Component MPL 30x15x2 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect 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 secures 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. 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind 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. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (30x15 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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 ~20.69 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their superior magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be 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...
  • In view of the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to individualized needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with direct contact (no paint)
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In practice, the real power is determined by many variables, ranked from most significant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select versions in plastic housing.

Phone sensors

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

No play value

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Eye protection

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Safe operation

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.

Hand protection

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Electronic devices

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
