1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

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

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.

Other products

Model MPL 40x40x15 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 460.51 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.
Separating strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. 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. 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 40x40x15 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 15 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 40x40x15 mm, which, at a weight of 180 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 46.94 kg (force ~460.51 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of accurate forming as well as optimizing to complex needs,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force is affected by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Danger to pacemakers

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

No play value

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Conscious usage

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

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Mechanical processing

Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Beware of splinters

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Do not overheat magnets

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Precision electronics

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
