1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.31

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.

Component MPL 40x10x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 116.27 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.
Separating block 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 hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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 clean and degrease 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. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 40 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual forming as well as modifying to individual needs,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, measured under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Do not give to children

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Threat to electronics

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

GPS and phone interference

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Combustion hazard

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Thermal limits

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

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Crushing force

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Handling rules

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