*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26

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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Field

Other deals

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x20x5 mm and a weight of 22.5 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 8.86 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
The key to success is sliding 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 30x20x5 / 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 8.86 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 30x20x5 mm, which, at a weight of 22.5 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 30x20x5 mm and a self-weight of 22.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom creating as well as optimizing to complex applications,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, measured under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Handling rules

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

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Precision electronics

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Bodily injuries

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Nickel allergy

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
