1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Field

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 protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block 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 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. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.44 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 5x5x1.2 / N38, it is best to use 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. 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 high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.44 kg (force ~4.28 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of accurate modeling as well as adapting to precise conditions,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Nickel allergy

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.

Finger safety

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Keep away from computers

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Handling rules

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Keep away from children

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Material brittleness

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Medical interference

Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
