1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the critical limit 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 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. 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 strong flat 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
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 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. 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. 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 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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to customize to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they serve a role in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Power loss in heat

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Nickel allergy

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
