1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the safety limit 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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x10x5 mm and a weight of 15 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular block with a force of 116.27 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.
Separating strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 40x10x5x2[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.
Plate magnets MPL 40x10x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 11.85 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x10x5x2[7/3.5] / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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 40x10x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 model is magnetized axially (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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Magnets have exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • 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 the possibility of free shaping and customization to custom requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they serve a role in data components, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 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 prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the actual holding force results from many variables, ranked from most significant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Respect the power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Fire warning

Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Implant safety

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
