1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31

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.

Magnet pull force


Field Strength

See more products

Model MPL 40x10x5 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 11.85 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
Separating strong flat 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 11.85 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. 11.85 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 40x10x5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 5 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 40x10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 15 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x10x5 mm and a self-weight of 15 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • By applying a lustrous coating of gold, the element acquires an aesthetic look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 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 those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to 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

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an polished touching surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in stable room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In practice, the actual holding force depends on a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Medical interference

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.

Respect the power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Nickel allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Permanent damage

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Eye protection

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
