1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp 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.

Component MPL 40x7x3 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 70.02 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 7.14 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 wind generators and material handling systems. 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.
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. 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. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x7x3 mm, which, at a weight of 6.3 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Safe distance

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Flammability

Powder generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Demagnetization risk

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Pinching danger

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Respect the power

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

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Warning for heart patients

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Product not for children

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
