1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the critical limit 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 rectangular block with a force of 91.33 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. 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).
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 (40x10 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 40x10x4 mm, which, at a weight of 12 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 9.31 kg (force ~91.33 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external fields,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact machining as well as optimizing to specific conditions,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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 very resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers

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

Protective goggles

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Immense force

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

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Protect data

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Heat warning

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

Physical harm

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
