1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.63

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 50x20x20 mm and a weight of 150 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 413.81 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 42.18 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
Plate magnets MPL 50x20x20 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 42.18 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 50x20x20 / N38, it is best to use 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. 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 (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 20 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 50x20x20 mm and a self-weight of 150 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

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at ambient temperature room level

Key elements affecting lifting force

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Life threat

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Do not give to children

These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Fire warning

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Operating temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Powerful field

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
