1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.22

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 flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect 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. 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 30x20x4 / 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
Plate magnets MPL 30x20x4 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
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. 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 roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 30 mm (length), 20 mm (width), and 4 mm (thickness). 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to modify to specific needs,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

Holding force of 6.30 kg is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Thermal limits

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Fire warning

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

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Finger safety

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Handling guide

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

This is not a toy

Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Pacemakers

People with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Allergic reactions

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.

GPS and phone interference

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
