1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Field Strength

Other products

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate 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 immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 30x5x5 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. 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 generators and material handling systems. 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. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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. 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.
Standardly, the MPL 30x5x5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. 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). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 30x5x5 mm and a self-weight of 5.63 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • 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...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Thermal limits

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

Caution required

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Threat to electronics

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Serious injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Life threat

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Choking Hazard

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
