*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26

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 plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x15x5 mm and a weight of 22.5 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 111.37 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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 40x15x5 / 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 40x15x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x15x5 / 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. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 40x15x5 / 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (40x15 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), 15 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x15x5 mm and a self-weight of 22.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • By applying a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an elegant look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of flexible molding and adaptation to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Keep away from computers

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Respect the power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Serious injuries

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Precision electronics

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Machining danger

Powder produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Medical interference

Patients with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Eye protection

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

No play value

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
