1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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

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 a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x20x4 mm and a weight of 18 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 61.84 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.
Separating strong flat 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 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. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
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 protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. 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. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Bear in mind that the working load may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

GPS Danger

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Conscious usage

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

Machining danger

Dust generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Crushing force

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

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Allergy Warning

A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Power loss in heat

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

This is not a toy

These products are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
