1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

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

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.

Model MPL 50x30x4 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 7.57 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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. To separate the MPL 50x30x4 / 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 7.57 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 50x30x4 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. 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. 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), 30 mm (width), and 4 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 50x30x4 mm and a self-weight of 45 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • By covering with a lustrous coating of silver, the element presents an nice look,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is very high,
  • 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 flexibility in shaping and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they serve a role in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, measured under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

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 holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause a rash. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Flammability

Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Choking Hazard

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Danger to pacemakers

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

GPS Danger

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Protective goggles

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
