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.

Pulling force

Field Strength

Other proposals

Model MPL 40x10x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal 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. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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 40x10x4x2[7/3.5] / 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. 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 hidden locks 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. 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. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
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 protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • 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 precise modeling and adapting to defined requirements,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they find application in data components, electric motors, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity results from many variables, presented from crucial:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Machining danger

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

Immense force

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Danger to the youngest

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Health Danger

Patients with a ICD have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Finger safety

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Keep away from electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Operating temperature

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

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
