Frequently asked questions

How much will a block magnet really hold?

The catalogue force is measured in full contact with smooth steel at least 10 mm thick, pulled perpendicular, at about 20 °C. On 1 mm sheet about 50% of that value remains, on 0.5 mm about 25%. Mounted on a vertical wall the realistic figure is 20–30%, because the load is then in shear rather than in tension.

What is the maximum working temperature?

Standard N-series grades up to 80 °C, and N50, N52 and N54 up to 60 °C. Above the maximum working temperature the loss stops being reversible. The Curie temperature, at which magnetic properties are lost completely, is about 310 °C.

What safety factor should I allow?

At least twice the mass of the item, and three to five times for vertical mounting. The margin covers sheet thickness, surface condition, any layer of paint or rust, and vibration.

Technical simulation of the magnet - report

The following information are the outcome of a engineering calculation. Values were calculated on algorithms for the class Nd₂Fe₁₄B. Operational parameters may deviate from the simulation results. Treat these calculations as a preliminary roadmap for designers.

Magnetic force drops significantly with every subsequent millimeter of distance. Keep in mind that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, varnish, veneer) strongly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums work strongest at the point of direct contact; air break kills the power. See how flashily the parameters drop, when the product does not touch directly to the steel surface. When designing the mounting, discard redundant distances.

This section calculates the estimated shear load required to initiate the sliding of the magnet downwards against a upright metal surface (assuming standard friction coefficient). This parameter depends on the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 40x5x3 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	2.20 kg / 4.85 pounds 2199.0 g / 21.6 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	1.47 kg / 3.23 pounds 1466.0 g / 14.4 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.73 kg / 1.62 pounds 733.0 g / 7.2 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	3.67 kg / 8.08 pounds 3665.0 g / 36.0 N

When placing a holder on a upright wall (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on barely about 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravitational force and a low friction coefficient cause that magnets move down faster than they detach. Planning a hanger? Consider that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will slip down under a much lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized pad can drastically improve the result.

3 mm	75%	5.50 kg / 12.12 pounds 5497.5 g / 53.9 N
5 mm	100%	7.33 kg / 16.16 pounds 7330.0 g / 71.9 N

12 mm	100%	7.33 kg / 16.16 pounds 7330.0 g / 71.9 N

A too thin steel cannot focus the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a thin surface, the flux will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To squeeze the maximum of this neodymium's power, you need a suitably thick backing of metal. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the product works worse. We recommend selecting the steel dimension according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose parameters above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can permanently destroy this product. With increasing heat, the magnet's capacity momentarily lowers. Do not use this product near heat sources exceeding its safe range. Ignoring the limit will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetism.

*Important note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Low-profile magnets (pancake types) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner compared to rod magnets. Red status in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products interact from a significantly greater distance than a neodymium and metal setup. Such a system of two magnets generates a stronger field and a further horizon of action. Want to build a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still large.
*Field value in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Important: Results demonstrate friction force of a pair of matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Extremely neodym field is a serious hazard to IT equipment as well as medical implants. These neodymiums produce a field that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Remember: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and plastic. Exceptional care must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Impact energy (cracking risk) - collision effects

Magnetic elements are delicate – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to fingers. Always hold the magnet during installation so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed ends with a crack of the magnet. Use safety goggles when handling with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27

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 P_c (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 P_c 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.

Model MPL 40x5x3 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 7.33 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 7.33 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 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 40x5x3 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (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. 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (40x5 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.

This model is characterized by dimensions 40x5x3 mm, which, at a weight of 4.5 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x5x3 mm and a self-weight of 4.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
A magnet with a smooth silver surface has an effective appearance,
Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains extremely intense,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
In view of the ability of precise molding and customization to specialized requirements, magnetic components can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and modern systems.
Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:

on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
characterized by even structure
under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
in neutral thermal conditions

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ subject to the following factors, in order of importance:

Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings

Finger safety

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Allergy Warning

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Magnets are brittle

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Threat to navigation

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Danger to the youngest

Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Flammability

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

Powerful field

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Heat warning

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Implant safety

People with a ICD must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
