Magnetic force weakens sharply per each millimeter of gap. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, varnish, veneer) strongly weakens the grip. Magnetic products operate most effectively during direct contact; air break nullifies the power. See how quickly the pull force drop, when the product does not adhere tightly to the metal substrate. When calculating the assembly, discard redundant distances.

Table 2: Shear capacity (vertical surface)
MPL 5x4x1 / N38

The table below shows the estimated shear load sufficient to initiate the downward movement of the magnet downwards on a upright steel plate (assuming typical friction coefficient). This value is relative to the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - 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 hanging a holder on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold barely approx. 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravity and a low friction coefficient mean that products move down easier than they pop off the substrate. Want to create a vertical fastening? Remember that the shear force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the magnet will give way down under a noticeably lighter weight. Application of an anti-slip layer can drastically improve the result.

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

A thin metal plate is not enough to focus the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a thin surface, the field will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve the maximum of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick piece of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the holder works worse. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Classic neodymiums irreversibly lose parameters past the thermal threshold. Protect against heat – excessive heat can permanently demagnetize this product. With increasing heat, the magnet's force temporarily lowers. Do not use this product close to ovens higher than its safe range. Ignoring the limit will cause permanent loss of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel setup. Such a system of two magnets generates a stronger field and a further horizon of action. Want to build a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is massive. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still large.
*The magnetic induction between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Attention: Estimates apply to shear force of dual same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Table 7: Hazards (electronics) - precautionary measures
MPL 5x4x1 / N38

Object / Device	Limit (Gauss) / mT	Safe distance
Pacemaker	5 Gs (0.5 mT)	2.0 cm

Extremely neodym field poses a large risk to electronic devices as well as pacemakers. These magnets generate a flux that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field penetrates the body and plastic. Special caution must be exercised by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, remotes, speakers, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are prone to chipping – a strong collision with metal causes immediate chipping. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Striking energy can trigger coating fragments or dangerous crushing to skin. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when working with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the safety limit 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.

MPL 3x3x3 / N38 - lamellar magnet

0.1845 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 the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 3.16 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 0.32 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.

Plate magnets MPL 5x4x1 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.32 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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. 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (5x4 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.

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 lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.32 kg (force ~3.16 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
Magnets are distinguished by maximum magnetic induction on the outer side,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them

To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
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 recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for optimal configuration, assuming:

on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
whose thickness is min. 10 mm
characterized by lack of roughness
with total lack of distance (no impurities)
for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):

Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) 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 nominal value.
Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings

Dust is flammable

Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.

Risk of cracking

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

ICD Warning

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Respect the power

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

Power loss in heat

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
