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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26

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 40x10x4 / 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. 9.31 kg), this product is available immediately 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 40x10x4 / 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 40x10x4 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 9.31 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 40x10x4 / 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 clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 40x10x4 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 4 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 40x10x4 mm, which, at a weight of 12 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x10x4 mm and a self-weight of 12 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly ten years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains very high,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of exact shaping and modifying to concrete needs,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the peak performance, obtained under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Magnetic media

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Demagnetization risk

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

Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Precision electronics

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Implant safety

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Hand protection

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

Danger to the youngest

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Powerful field

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
