1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46

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 30x5x5 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 7.03 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.
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 7.03 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 30x5x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 7.03 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks 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. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 30x5x5 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 5 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 (30x5 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 30x5x5 mm, which, at a weight of 5.63 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 7.03 kg (force ~68.96 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed modeling and optimizing to concrete needs,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • 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 and 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. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Crushing force

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Powerful field

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

Demagnetization risk

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Nickel allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Combustion hazard

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Beware of splinters

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Safe distance

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Threat to navigation

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
