1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.46

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 Induction

Other products

Model MPL 30x20x10 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. 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.
Separating block 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 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. 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 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 strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. 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 through the thickness (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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 30x20x10 mm, which, at a weight of 45 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of exact shaping as well as modifying to precise needs,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Finger safety

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

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

No play value

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Allergy Warning

A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Permanent damage

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Safe operation

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Fire risk

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
