Pulling power weakens drastically with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, paint, dust) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnetic products work strongest at the point of direct contact; gap drastically cuts the force. Observe how quickly the parameters fall, when the product does not adhere tightly to the steel surface. When calculating the assembly, avoid unnecessary gaps.

This section indicates the estimated holding capacity sufficient to start the sliding of the magnet down against a vertical steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter is relative to the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - vertical pull
MPL 3x3x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.11 kg / 0.24 LBS 108.0 g / 1.1 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.07 kg / 0.16 LBS 72.0 g / 0.7 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.04 kg / 0.08 LBS 36.0 g / 0.4 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.18 kg / 0.40 LBS 180.0 g / 1.8 N

When mounting a element on a vertical surface (e.g., a fridge), it will maintain barely approx. 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity and a weak degree of grip cause that magnets slip easier than they detach. Designing a hanger? Note that the sliding force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will slip down under a significantly smaller weight. Utilizing a rubberized layer can significantly improve the result.

A thin metal plate is not enough to conduct the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. Should you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the flux will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the holder shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel cross-section based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products lose strength above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – excessive heat can permanently damage this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's force momentarily lowers. Do not use this magnet in hot environments exceeding its safe range. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnetic products interact from a significantly greater distance than a neodymium and metal combination. Such a system of two magnets produces a massive flux and a further horizon of performance. Planning to create a strong closure? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the impact force is huge. The levitation is slightly lower than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Estimates demonstrate friction force of two matching magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Table 7: Protective zones (electronics) - warnings

Powerful magnet radiation poses a serious hazard to electronics and pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a field that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Notice: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and housings. Special caution must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, remotes, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Table 8: Impact energy (cracking risk) - warning

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Impact energy can cause material chips or painful pinches to fingers. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when playing with large magnets.

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

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.66

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.

Model MPL 3x3x2 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 3.49 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.

The key to success is shifting 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 0.36 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.

Plate magnets MPL 3x3x2 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 3x3x2 / 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. 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.

This model is characterized by dimensions 3x3x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.13 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.36 kg (force ~3.49 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
By using a decorative coating of nickel, the element acquires an aesthetic look,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key 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...
Considering the option of free forming and adaptation to unique solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.

Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
Neodymium magnets lose their force 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
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under specific, ideal conditions:

using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
with a plane free of scratches
under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
at standard ambient temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:

Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets

Allergic reactions

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

GPS Danger

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Respect the power

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Dust is flammable

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Hand protection

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Thermal limits

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Warning! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
