*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.42

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 a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x20x10 mm and a weight of 60 g, guarantees premium class connection. This magnetic block with a force of 241.53 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 24.62 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 40x20x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x20x10 / 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 40x20x10 / 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 40x20x10 mm, which, at a weight of 60 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x20x10 mm and a self-weight of 60 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • By using a smooth layer of gold, the element acquires an proper look,
  • Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Magnet power was defined for optimal configuration, including:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on many variables, listed from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Implant safety

People with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Adults only

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Fire risk

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

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Thermal limits

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Impact on smartphones

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Warning for allergy sufferers

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or select encased magnets.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Threat to electronics

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
