1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.74

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

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x20x20 mm and a weight of 90 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 238.07 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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 30x20x20 / 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 30x20x20 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
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 30x20x20 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 20 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 20 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 24.27 kg (force ~238.07 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, 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),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate creating as well as optimizing to complex needs,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

Holding force of 24.27 kg is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Combustion hazard

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to the youngest

These products are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Handling rules

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Health Danger

Patients with a heart stimulator have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
