chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.22

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 30x20x4 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 6.30 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.
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 6.30 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. 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 30x20x4 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 30x20x4 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 4 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 30x20x4 mm, which, at a weight of 18 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 30x20x4 mm and a self-weight of 18 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • By covering with a smooth layer of nickel, the element gains an nice look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated 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 exact modeling as well as adjusting to precise requirements,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, meaning:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In real-world applications, the real power is determined by several key aspects, listed from most significant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

GPS and phone interference

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Do not underestimate power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Physical harm

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Maximum temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Beware of splinters

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Implant safety

People with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Adults only

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
