1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.38

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 magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 50x20x10 mm and a weight of 75 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 29.99 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
The key to success is shifting 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. To separate the MPL 50x20x10 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
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. 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. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 50x20x10 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 10 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (50x20 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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: 50 mm (length), 20 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 50x20x10 mm and a self-weight of 75 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the potential of precise forming and adaptation to individualized solutions, magnetic components can be manufactured in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is influenced by working environment parameters, such as (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Beware of splinters

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.

Fire warning

Dust generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Conscious usage

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

GPS and phone interference

An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Demagnetization risk

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Danger to pacemakers

Individuals with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Danger to the youngest

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Skin irritation risks

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Electronic hazard

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

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