1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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.

Magnetic Induction

Other offers

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 premium class connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 7.14 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block 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 7.14 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 40x7x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators 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, 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 roughen and wash 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x7x3 mm, which, at a weight of 6.3 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 7.14 kg (force ~70.02 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the possibility of free forming and customization to individualized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at ambient temperature room level

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, 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 surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Sensitization to coating

Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Physical harm

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Precision electronics

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Dust is flammable

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Safe operation

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

Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Shattering risk

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.

Implant safety

Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Product not for children

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
