1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.84

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.

Magnetic Field

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 3x3x3 mm and a weight of 0.2 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.34 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 0.34 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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. 0.34 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 3x3x3 / 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 clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 3x3x3 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 3 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 (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 3x3x3 mm, which, at a weight of 0.2 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.34 kg (force ~3.37 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • In other words, due to the smooth layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Key role in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. 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
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, measured under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the working load may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between surfaces – every 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 detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Fire risk

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Beware of splinters

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

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Maximum temperature

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Pinching danger

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Swallowing risk

Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.

Nickel allergy

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.

Precision electronics

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Medical interference

People with a pacemaker should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Handling rules

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
