1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, 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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 an extremely strong 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 rectangular 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.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 40x7x3 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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).
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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 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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from most important):
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Adults only

These products are not suitable for play. Eating several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

ICD Warning

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Conscious usage

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Nickel coating and allergies

Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Phone sensors

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
