1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.30

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.

Model MPL 5x5x1.2 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 4.28 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is shifting 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 0.44 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 5x5x1.2 / 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 clean and degrease 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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (5x5 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 5x5x1.2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.22 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 5x5x1.2 mm and a self-weight of 0.22 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains impressive,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. 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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Impact on smartphones

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Combustion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Cards and drives

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Beware of splinters

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Swallowing risk

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Crushing force

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Conscious usage

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Avoid contact if allergic

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
