1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

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

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 magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 50x20x10 mm and a weight of 75 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 29.99 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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. 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. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 50x20x10 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 10 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 50 mm (length), 20 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 29.99 kg (force ~294.15 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • By applying a shiny coating of gold, the element has an nice look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise creating and optimizing to individual applications,
  • Key role in innovative solutions – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength refers to the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

During everyday use, the actual holding force depends on a number of factors, presented from most significant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Medical interference

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Fire risk

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

Conscious usage

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Swallowing risk

Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
