*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.43

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.

Pulling force

Field Strength

Other deals

Component MPL 40x18x10 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 23.81 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
Separating strong flat 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 23.81 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. 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 40x18x10 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (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 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. 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), 18 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 23.81 kg (force ~233.58 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By covering with a shiny coating of gold, the element presents an aesthetic look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • In view of the option of flexible shaping and adaptation to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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 extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Nickel coating and allergies

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to a rash. We recommend wear protective gloves.

Medical interference

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

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Swallowing risk

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Powerful field

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Fragile material

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
