1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46

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.

Field Strength

See also products

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x20x10 mm and a weight of 45 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 19.53 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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. To separate the MPL 30x20x10 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. 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. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 30x20x10 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 30x20x10 / N38 model is magnetized axially (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. 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), 20 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 30x20x10 mm and a self-weight of 45 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a reflective layer of gold, the element acquires an modern look,
  • Magnets are distinguished by huge magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of free forming and customization to unique solutions, neodymium magnets can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are utilized in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend 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 advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Respect the power

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Cards and drives

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

GPS and phone interference

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
