1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Field Strength

Other products

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x15x5 mm and a weight of 22.5 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 111.37 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. To separate the MPL 40x15x5x2[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. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / N38, we recommend utilizing 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 40x15x5x2[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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (40x15 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 40 mm (length), 15 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 11.35 kg (force ~111.37 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very 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...
  • In view of the possibility of accurate forming and adaptation to unique projects, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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 extremely resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity depends on many variables, listed from the most important:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Magnetic interference

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Power loss in heat

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

ICD Warning

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Data carriers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Fire risk

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Handling guide

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.

Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
