1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 0.23

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.

Field Strength

Other deals

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x20x5 mm and a weight of 30 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 10.67 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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 10.67 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 10.67 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization 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 40x20x5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (40x20 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 40 mm (length), 20 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 10.67 kg (force ~104.63 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power is durable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • 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 detailed creating as well as adapting to complex requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Danger to the youngest

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Danger to pacemakers

Individuals with a ICD have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Permanent damage

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Machining danger

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Data carriers

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Crushing force

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Handling rules

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