1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x10x4 mm and a weight of 12 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 9.31 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 9.31 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. 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.
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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
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. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 40 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 4 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 9.31 kg (force ~91.33 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Magnets effectively resist against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of custom machining as well as optimizing to complex applications,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 9.31 kg is a theoretical maximum value conducted under standard conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Real force is affected by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Threat to navigation

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Dust explosion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Power loss in heat

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Respect the power

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Bodily injuries

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

Magnet fragility

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

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Keep away from computers

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

This is not a toy

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
