1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other products

Component MPL 3x3x3 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar 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 block 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 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 wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.34 kg), they are ideal as closers 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 two-component adhesives (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 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. 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.
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 as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even after approximately ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be very high,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of individual shaping as well as modifying to precise requirements,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very 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.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In practice, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Serious injuries

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

Medical interference

Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Conscious usage

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Sensitization to coating

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

Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Electronic hazard

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Do not drill into magnets

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Danger! Details about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
