1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC 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) = 0.21

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 50x20x5 mm and a weight of 37.5 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular block with a force of 124.48 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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 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. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 12.69 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.
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).
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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
This model is characterized by dimensions 50x20x5 mm, which, at a weight of 37.5 g, makes it an element with high energy density. 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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros
Besides their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during around ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the possibility of free shaping and adaptation to unique projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose force 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 usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?
The load parameter shown represents the maximum value, recorded under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Dust is flammable

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Risk of cracking

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Physical harm

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Medical implants

Individuals with a pacemaker must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Heat warning

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

Conscious usage

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

Warning for allergy sufferers

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Choking Hazard

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.
