1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is shifting 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 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. 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. 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 high 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even over approximately 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By covering with a reflective layer of nickel, the element presents an nice look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom modeling as well as optimizing to individual needs,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they serve a role in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

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

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Electronic devices

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

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Allergic reactions

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Safe operation

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Product not for children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Fire warning

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
