1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, 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

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.

This product is an extremely strong plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x18x10 mm and a weight of 54 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular 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.
The key to success is shifting 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. 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 SH / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators 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. 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (40x18 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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 impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 23.81 kg (force ~233.58 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains very high,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the possibility of precise shaping and adaptation to unique projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under the following configuration:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the actual holding force results from a number of factors, presented from crucial:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Sensitization to coating

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Operating temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Implant safety

Patients with a pacemaker have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Electronic hazard

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Powerful field

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Mechanical processing

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

This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.

Keep away from electronics

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