1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly 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) = 0.42

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.

Model MPL 40x20x10 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 24.62 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 40x20x10 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. 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. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x20x10 / 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.
Standardly, the MPL 40x20x10 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 40 mm (length), 20 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 24.62 kg (force ~241.53 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets exhibit maximum magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate forming as well as adapting to concrete needs,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Holding force of 24.62 kg is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Permanent damage

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

Handling rules

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Flammability

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Impact on smartphones

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Warning for heart patients

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

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Skin irritation risks

Some people have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.
