1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

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

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

Other offers

Component MPL 50x25x12 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 364.18 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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 50x25x12 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, 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 50x25x12 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 50x25x12 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (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 50x25x12 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 12 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (50x25 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 50x25x12 mm, which, at a weight of 112.5 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 37.12 kg (force ~364.18 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • By using a shiny layer of nickel, the element has an professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • 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 prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Threat to electronics

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Avoid contact if allergic

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Immense force

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Thermal limits

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Health Danger

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Crushing force

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Beware of splinters

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Fire warning

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Important! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
