1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the critical 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.

This product is a very powerful 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. 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. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization 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. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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 compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of accurate modeling as well as optimizing to individual needs,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Crushing risk

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

No play value

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Powerful field

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Machining danger

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Allergy Warning

Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Warning! Details about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
