1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit 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.

Other deals

Model MPL 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 111.37 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 11.35 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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 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), 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • By covering with a reflective coating of silver, the element presents an aesthetic look,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains maximum,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and optimizing to individual applications,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

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

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal 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 – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Bodily injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Medical interference

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Power loss in heat

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Immense force

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Danger to the youngest

Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Compass and GPS

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
