1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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. This magnetic block with a force of 91.33 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 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. 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 filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 9.31 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 40x10x4 / N38, it is best to use 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).
Standardly, the MPL 40x10x4 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the potential of accurate molding and adaptation to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Key role in future technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value conducted under the following configuration:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Avoid contact if allergic

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Protect data

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Precision electronics

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Flammability

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Pacemakers

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

Respect the power

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
