1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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

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.

Pulling force

Field Strength

Other proposals

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 50x20x10 mm and a weight of 75 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 294.15 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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. 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.
Plate magnets MPL 50x20x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 29.99 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 50x20x10 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (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).
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. 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.
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 power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their strong holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • By applying a reflective layer of nickel, the element presents an aesthetic look,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and optimizing to defined conditions,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

Breakaway force was determined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. 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, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Implant safety

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

Fire warning

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Pinching danger

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Do not underestimate power

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

This is not a toy

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Heat sensitivity

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We recommend use protective gloves.

Protective goggles

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

GPS Danger

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
