chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.19

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

Component MPL 40x20x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 7.52 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. 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. To separate the MPL 40x20x4x2[7/3.5] / 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 wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 7.52 kg), they are ideal as closers 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. 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).
Standardly, the MPL 40x20x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 4 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 40x20x4 mm, which, at a weight of 24 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 7.52 kg (force ~73.80 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is exceptional,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Key elements affecting lifting force

Bear in mind that the working load may be lower subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Avoid contact if allergic

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose coated magnets.

Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Magnetic interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Pinching danger

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Adults only

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Combustion hazard

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Handling guide

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Life threat

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Maximum temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Magnetic media

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
