1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the safety 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.

Magnetic Field

Other proposals

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x20x10 mm and a weight of 45 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic 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 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 19.53 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.
Plate magnets MPL 30x20x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts 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.
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. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (30x20 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 30x20x10 mm, which, at a weight of 45 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 19.53 kg (force ~191.55 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • By covering with a reflective layer of gold, the element presents an modern look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the ability of flexible molding and customization to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Brittleness 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 increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Bear in mind that the magnet holding will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Skin irritation risks

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for coated magnets.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Hand protection

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Powerful field

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their force.

ICD Warning

Patients with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the implant.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Danger to the youngest

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
