1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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

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.

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 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. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
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 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, 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. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
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. 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 high energy density. 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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 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 has an effective appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Considering the possibility of flexible shaping and customization to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in data components, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force results from many variables, ranked from the most important:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.

ICD Warning

Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Immense force

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Maximum temperature

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

Bone fractures

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Safe distance

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Phone sensors

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Danger! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
