1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the critical 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.

Other proposals

Component MPL 50x50x10 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 33.73 kg), this product is available immediately 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 50x50x10 / 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 50x50x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 33.73 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.
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), 50 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 50x50x10 mm and a self-weight of 187.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the option of accurate forming and adaptation to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they are used in data components, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force depends on many variables, listed from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Medical interference

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Safe operation

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Magnetic interference

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.

Fire risk

Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Keep away from computers

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
