1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*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. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 9.31 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. 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.
Plate magnets MPL 40x10x4 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. 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. 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. 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 high energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 9.31 kg (force ~91.33 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their power is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • By covering with a smooth coating of gold, the element acquires an proper look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Due to the option of flexible shaping and customization to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process 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

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the peak performance, recorded under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Electronic hazard

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Handling guide

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Mechanical processing

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Threat to navigation

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Magnet fragility

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

Adults only

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
