1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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.

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x10x5 mm and a weight of 15 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 11.85 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 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
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, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 40x10x5x2[7/3.5] / 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 15 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 11.85 kg (force ~116.27 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • By covering with a lustrous layer of silver, the element has an proper look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed modeling as well as modifying to concrete needs,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with direct contact (no impurities)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Sensitization to coating

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

Risk of cracking

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Power loss in heat

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Phone sensors

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Protect data

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Serious injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Do not underestimate power

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

Danger to the youngest

These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
