1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26

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.

Force (pull)


Magnetic Induction

View also offers

Model MPL 50x50x10 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 330.92 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, 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 33.73 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. 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 50x50x10 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 50x50x10 mm, which, at a weight of 187.5 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 33.73 kg (force ~330.92 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after approximately 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise machining as well as modifying to precise needs,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Magnet power was determined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity results from many variables, listed from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Serious injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Caution required

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Cards and drives

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

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Nickel coating and allergies

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Health Danger

Individuals with a pacemaker have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Machining danger

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Danger! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
