1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (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 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.

Component MPL 50x20x5 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 12.69 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects 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. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 50x20x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. 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. 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 5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 12.69 kg (force ~124.48 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is very high,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the potential of flexible forming and adaptation to custom needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • 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 increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Please note that the working load will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Powerful field

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Data carriers

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

Risk of cracking

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Phone sensors

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Machining danger

Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Pacemakers

Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Thermal limits

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

Product not for children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
