1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x20x4 mm and a weight of 18 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 6.30 kg), this product is available immediately 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. 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.
Plate magnets MPL 30x20x4 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 6.30 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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).
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.
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 protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has an effective appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • In view of the potential of precise shaping and customization to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Please note that the application force will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Power loss in heat

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Keep away from computers

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder created during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Bodily injuries

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Warning for heart patients

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Warning for allergy sufferers

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Swallowing risk

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Do not underestimate power

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
