1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other proposals

Model MPL 50x30x4 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 7.57 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 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 7.57 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. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. 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 clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 50x30x4 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 4 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. 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), 30 mm (width), and 4 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 7.57 kg (force ~74.26 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even over nearly ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and adjusting to concrete needs,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they are used in hard drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at room temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Health Danger

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Finger safety

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Fire risk

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Protect data

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Do not underestimate power

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
