1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.84

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.

Component MPL 3x3x3 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 0.34 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.
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 3x3x3 / 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
Plate magnets MPL 3x3x3 / 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. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 3x3x3 mm, which, at a weight of 0.2 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 3x3x3 mm and a self-weight of 0.2 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

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

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In practice, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, listed from most significant:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

GPS Danger

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Dust is flammable

Powder created during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Crushing force

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Health Danger

People with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Powerful field

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
