1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

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

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 30x20x10 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 191.55 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
The key to success is shifting 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.
Plate magnets MPL 30x20x10 / 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. 19.53 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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. 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Magnets exhibit huge magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result conducted under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature 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 parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Flammability

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Health Danger

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

This is not a toy

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Phone sensors

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

Immense force

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Maximum temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Beware of splinters

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest wear safety gloves.
