1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

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.

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x7x3 mm and a weight of 6.3 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 70.02 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 40x7x3 / 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
Plate magnets MPL 40x7x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 7.14 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x7x3 / N38, we recommend utilizing 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 40x7x3 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 3 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (40x7 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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 grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed machining as well as adjusting to defined needs,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in data components, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices 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

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Warning for heart patients

People with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Avoid contact if allergic

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Hand protection

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Maximum temperature

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

Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
