1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.43

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 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. 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. 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. 23.81 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x18x10 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (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 roughen and wash 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), 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Bear in mind that the working load may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Do not drill into magnets

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

Impact on smartphones

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Warning for allergy sufferers

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Pacemakers

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.

Adults only

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Power loss in heat

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