1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Component MPL 40x18x10 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 233.58 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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.
Plate magnets MPL 40x18x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 23.81 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. 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 40x18x10 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 10 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 40x18x10 mm, which, at a weight of 54 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x18x10 mm and a self-weight of 54 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface looks better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise forming as well as modifying to defined requirements,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, brushless drives, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
  • 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:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

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

Holding force of 23.81 kg is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Dust is flammable

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Thermal limits

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Pacemakers

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Respect the power

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

Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Precision electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Risk of cracking

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for coated magnets.

Danger to the youngest

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
