Pulling power weakens drastically with every mm of distance. Keep in mind that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) strongly diminishes the holding power. Magnetic products work optimally during direct contact; air break nullifies the force. Observe how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the product does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the assembly, avoid unnecessary gaps.

This section shows the approximate weight limit needed to start the sliding of the magnet vertically against a upright steel plate (assuming standard friction coefficient). The holding force depends on the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 50x20x5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	3.81 kg / 8.39 LBS 3807.0 g / 37.3 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	2.54 kg / 5.60 LBS 2538.0 g / 24.9 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	1.27 kg / 2.80 LBS 1269.0 g / 12.4 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	6.35 kg / 13.99 LBS 6345.0 g / 62.2 N

When mounting a magnet on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it you can count on barely approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity and a low friction coefficient influence the fact that products move down easier than they detach. Want to create a vertical fastening? Remember that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will give way down under a significantly smaller weight. Utilizing a rubberized coating can effectively increase the grip.

A thin sheet is unable to absorb the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the holder. If you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the flux will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve full efficiency of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the holder shows lower pull force. We suggest choosing the steel thickness based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose strength above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – excessive heat can permanently demagnetize this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's capacity briefly drops. Do not use this magnet in hot environments higher than its safe range. Ignoring the limit will cause irreversible degradation of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties at lower temperatures than long magnets. Warning indicator in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two magnets attract each other from a much further distance than a magnet and sheet combination. The connection of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a wider radius of performance. Planning to create a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is extreme. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*Flux density for N-N configuration is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Figures show sliding force of dual matching neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Extremely neodym field poses a real danger to electronic devices and pacemakers. These NdFeB products produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of digital equipment. Be aware: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and housings. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Collisions (cracking risk) - collision effects

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Striking energy can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to skin. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when playing with powerful specimens.

Environment	Effective steel pull	Effect

Warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.21

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 P_c (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 P_c 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 50x20x5 mm and a weight of 37.5 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 12.69 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. 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. 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.

Plate magnets MPL 50x20x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. 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. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 50x20x5 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. 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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains very high,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
In view of the option of free shaping and adaptation to individualized requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also complex engineering applications.
Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
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 secure oxidation and corrosion.
Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?

The declared magnet strength represents the peak performance, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:

with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
characterized by smoothness
under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Bear in mind that the application force will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:

Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets

ICD Warning

Individuals with a ICD must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Demagnetization risk

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Respect the power

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Data carriers

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Swallowing risk

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Danger! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
