Pulling power weakens drastically with every mm of spacing. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, paint, dust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnets hold most effectively at the point of direct contact; gap nullifies the force. See how quickly the pull force fall, when the product does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When designing the mounting, eliminate redundant distances.

This section calculates the estimated weight limit necessary to start the sliding of the magnet vertically against a vertical metal surface (considering typical friction). This value varies with the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 5x4x1 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.10 kg / 0.21 pounds 96.0 g / 0.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.06 kg / 0.14 pounds 64.0 g / 0.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.03 kg / 0.07 pounds 32.0 g / 0.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.16 kg / 0.35 pounds 160.0 g / 1.6 N

When placing a magnet on a upright plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold just approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that holders slip faster than they detach. Planning a wall mount? Remember that the shear force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the holder will slide down under a significantly smaller cargo. Application of an anti-slip pad can drastically improve the result.

2 mm	50%	0.16 kg / 0.35 pounds 160.0 g / 1.6 N

11 mm	100%	0.32 kg / 0.71 pounds 320.0 g / 3.1 N
12 mm	100%	0.32 kg / 0.71 pounds 320.0 g / 3.1 N

A thin metal plate is unable to absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. If you attach a powerful product to a weak sheet, the magnetism will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's power, you need a suitably thick element of metal. The saturation effect means that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the product shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel thickness according to the table below.

Table 5: Thermal stability (material behavior) - resistance threshold
MPL 5x4x1 / N38

100 °C	-28.8%	0.23 kg / 0.50 pounds 227.8 g / 2.2 N

Classic neodymiums lose parameters above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – heat can permanently damage this magnet. As the temperature rises, the neodymium's capacity temporarily drops. Do not use this product close to ovens higher than its safe range. Too high temperature will result in irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Technical advisory: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) are more susceptible to demagnetization under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. Red status in the table points to permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a wider radius than a neodymium and metal combination. The setup of two magnets produces a massive flux and a further horizon of action. Planning to create a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is massive. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the attraction, but still large.
*Field value between like poles reaches ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
* Estimates apply to sliding force of two identical magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Table 7: Safety (HSE) (implants) - warnings

Powerful magnet radiation poses a large risk to electronics and pacemakers. These magnets produce a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the unseen radiation acts through matter and housings. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, membranes, and screens. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

NdFeB products are delicate – a strong collision with metal causes immediate chipping. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to skin. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when handling with large magnets.

Rust risk: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29

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 P_c (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 P_c 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.

SMZR 25x175 / N52 - magnetic separator with handle

492.00 ZŁ brutto / pcs

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 5x4x1 mm and a weight of 0.15 g, guarantees premium class connection. This magnetic block with a force of 3.16 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.

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 5x4x1 / 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.

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. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 5x4x1 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. 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.

This model is characterized by dimensions 5x4x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.15 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.32 kg (force ~3.16 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.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
By using a reflective layer of silver, the element presents an professional look,
Magnets possess huge magnetic induction on the outer side,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Thanks to versatility in designing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
Significant place in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also industrial machines.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:

At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing conducted under standard conditions:

with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
characterized by lack of roughness
under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
at temperature room level

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Real force impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):

Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets

Do not drill into magnets

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Choking Hazard

These products are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Impact on smartphones

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.

Operating temperature

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Nickel allergy

Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. It is best to use protective gloves.

Handling rules

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Bone fractures

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Implant safety

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Cards and drives

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
