1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other deals

Model MPL 40x7x3 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 7.14 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding 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. 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 filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 40x7x3 mm, which, at a weight of 6.3 g, makes it an element with impressive 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of flexible shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (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 load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Crushing risk

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Immense force

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Operating temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Medical interference

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

GPS and phone interference

Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Danger to the youngest

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.

Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
