1. Shear force

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

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.

Model MPL 40x10x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a low profile 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 off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block 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 extreme caution, 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. 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 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. 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). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 11.85 kg (force ~116.27 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By using a shiny layer of gold, the element acquires an proper look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed modeling and adapting to specific needs,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • 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.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Health Danger

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Danger to the youngest

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Precision electronics

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Powerful field

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Do not drill into magnets

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
