1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24

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

Field Strength

Other proposals

Model MPL 40x7x3 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 7.14 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.
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. To separate the MPL 40x7x3 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, 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 40x7x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. 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 40x7x3 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 3 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 40 mm (length), 7 mm (width), and 3 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 7.14 kg (force ~70.02 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Danger to the youngest

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

GPS and phone interference

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Implant safety

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

Nickel coating and allergies

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Crushing force

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Dust explosion hazard

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
