1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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

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.

Component MPL 40x10x4 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal 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. 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 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.
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 closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. 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.
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 compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Considering the possibility of flexible forming and adaptation to individualized projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are utilized in data components, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, recorded under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Real force is affected by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Fire warning

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Handling rules

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

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Crushing force

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

Nickel coating and allergies

Some people suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
