1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the safety limit 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 40x10x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a flat shape 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. 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind 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. 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. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. 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 40x10x4x2[7/3.5] / 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. 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 impressive 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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • By using a decorative layer of nickel, the element gains an elegant look,
  • Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Power loss in heat

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

GPS Danger

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Bodily injuries

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Dust is flammable

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Handling guide

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Pacemakers

Individuals with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
