1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Other deals

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 30x5x5 mm and a weight of 5.63 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 7.03 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf 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 30x5x5 / 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. 7.03 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 30x5x5 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (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. 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. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. 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), 5 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 7.03 kg (force ~68.96 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, measured under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Heat sensitivity

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Handling guide

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Implant safety

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Fire risk

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Pinching danger

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Threat to electronics

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
