1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.40

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.

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 50x25x12 mm and a weight of 112.5 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 364.18 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 37.12 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 generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 37.12 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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 roughen and wash 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. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 50 mm (length), 25 mm (width), and 12 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 37.12 kg (force ~364.18 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Considering the option of accurate shaping and adaptation to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 37.12 kg is a result of laboratory testing conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

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 lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Heat sensitivity

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Phone sensors

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.

Implant safety

People with a ICD have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Dust created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
