1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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.

Pulling force


Field Strength

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 40x7x3 mm and a weight of 6.3 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a magnetic bar 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 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 7.14 kg), they are ideal as closers 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, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
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). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 40x7x3 mm and a self-weight of 6.3 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed modeling as well as adjusting to precise requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

Magnet power was defined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Please note that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Respect the power

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Choking Hazard

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Operating temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Phone sensors

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Dust is flammable

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
