1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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) = 0.26

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.

Component MPL 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 11.35 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding 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 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 11.35 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x15x5x2[7/3.5] / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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.
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. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x15x5 mm, which, at a weight of 22.5 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 11.35 kg (force ~111.37 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnets have very high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate creating and adapting to complex needs,
  • Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (without impurities)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual holding force depends on many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed 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 small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Health Danger

Individuals with a pacemaker have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Do not underestimate power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Electronic hazard

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Do not give to children

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Impact on smartphones

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
