1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.27

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 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.

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x5x3 mm and a weight of 4.5 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 71.91 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 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 40x5x3 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 40x5x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. 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 roughen and wash 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x5x3 mm, which, at a weight of 4.5 g, makes it an element with high 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. 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 power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under the following configuration:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Immense force

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Machining danger

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Safe distance

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Keep away from electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Do not give to children

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Heat sensitivity

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Finger safety

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.

Danger! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
