1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.43

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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Induction

Other proposals

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x40x15 mm and a weight of 180 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 460.51 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 46.94 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 40x40x15 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 46.94 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x40x15 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (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 40x40x15 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 15 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 (40x40 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), 40 mm (width), and 15 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 46.94 kg (force ~460.51 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after approximately 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • In other words, due to the shiny layer of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Due to the option of free shaping and adaptation to custom projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Real force is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

GPS and phone interference

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.

Eye protection

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Implant safety

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Fire warning

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

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Crushing risk

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Electronic devices

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Safe operation

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
