1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

View also products

Model MPL 50x20x5 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 12.69 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding 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 12.69 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.
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 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 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 50x20x5 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. 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). 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains exceptional,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom machining and modifying to precise applications,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and 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 and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the limit force, measured under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the magnet holding will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Serious injuries

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Nickel allergy

Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Safe operation

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Medical implants

Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
