1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits 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.

Field Strength

See more 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 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. 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 fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. 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 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. 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 holding force amounting to approximately 19.53 kg (force ~191.55 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures 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 possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Pinching danger

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Fire warning

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Nickel coating and allergies

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.

Conscious usage

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

No play value

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Electronic devices

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