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.

Component MPL 40x20x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 73.80 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding 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. 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. Remember to clean and degrease 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x20x4 mm, which, at a weight of 24 g, makes it an element with high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x20x4 mm and a self-weight of 24 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface looks better,
  • Magnets exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • 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 versatility in forming and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Protect data

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Choking Hazard

Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Precision electronics

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

ICD Warning

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Caution required

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Fragile material

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