1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, 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

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 proposals

Component MPL 40x5x3 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect 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. Furthermore, 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 7.33 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.
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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x5x3 / 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).
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 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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • By using a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an modern look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Nickel coating and allergies

Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Permanent damage

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

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Adults only

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Life threat

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

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Caution required

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

Precision electronics

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Magnetic media

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
