1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.21

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.

Model MPL 50x20x5 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 124.48 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.
Separating strong flat magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 50x20x5 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, 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 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 50x20x5 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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).
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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 50 mm (length), 20 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 50x20x5 mm and a self-weight of 37.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, measured under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on a number of factors, ranked from the most important:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however 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 decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Keep away from children

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Flammability

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Powerful field

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Threat to navigation

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Maximum temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
