Magnetic force weakens significantly per each millimeter of distance. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, varnish, dust) noticeably weakens the grip. Magnets operate most effectively in perfect adhesion; distance nullifies the force. Observe how rapidly the parameters drop, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When calculating the mounting, discard unnecessary gaps.

The following data defines the estimated force necessary to initiate the sliding of the magnet vertically along a vertical steel wall (assuming standard friction coefficient). The holding force is a function of the distance between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 3x3x1 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.07 kg / 0.15 lbs 69.0 g / 0.7 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.05 kg / 0.10 lbs 46.0 g / 0.5 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.02 kg / 0.05 lbs 23.0 g / 0.2 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.12 kg / 0.25 lbs 115.0 g / 1.1 N

When placing a element on a upright wall (e.g., a car body), it will maintain only about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a low friction coefficient influence the fact that products slide down easier than they detach. Want to create a wall mount? Note that the sliding force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a slippery surface, the element will slip down under a much lighter cargo. Using a rubber layer can drastically raise the stability.

A too thin steel is not enough to absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. Should you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the field will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve full efficiency of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick piece of metal. The saturation phenomenon means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the holder shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel dimension based on the following data.

Table 5: Thermal stability (material behavior) - resistance threshold

Ordinary NdFeB products lose power after exceeding the maximum temperature. Watch out for overheating – heat can irreversibly destroy this magnet. With increasing heat, the magnet's capacity briefly lowers. Refrain from using this magnet in hot environments exceeding its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Low-profile magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties sooner than long magnets. Red status in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnetic products interact from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet combination. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a larger range of performance. Planning to create a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is extreme. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Flux density between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Estimates refer to sliding force of two matching neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Powerful magnet radiation poses a serious hazard to electronics and medical implants. These magnets produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation acts through matter and plastic. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are delicate – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Striking energy can trigger coating fragments or injury to fingers. Always hold the magnet during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when playing with powerful specimens.

Warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.40

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 P_c (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 P_c 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.

16.11 ZŁ brutto / pcs

Model MPL 3x3x1 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 2.29 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.

Separating strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 3x3x1 / 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.

Plate magnets MPL 3x3x1 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as fasteners 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 (3x3 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: 3 mm (length), 3 mm (width), and 1 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.23 kg (force ~2.29 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Possibility of custom machining and optimizing to complex requirements,
Wide application in innovative solutions – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the limit force, obtained under laboratory conditions, namely:

with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
with a thickness of at least 10 mm
with a surface cleaned and smooth
without any clearance between the magnet and steel
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:

Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Adults only

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Fire risk

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Safe distance

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Crushing risk

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Magnetic interference

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Health Danger

People with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or select coated magnets.
