Grip strength weakens drastically with every mm of gap. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, varnish, dust) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnetic products work strongest in perfect adhesion; distance drastically cuts the force. Observe how quickly the parameters fall, when the product does not touch directly to the metal substrate. When planning the assembly, avoid redundant distances.

The following data defines the approximate weight limit required to initiate the slippage of the magnet downwards against a vertical steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). This value is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - vertical pull
MPL 5x5x1.2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.13 kg / 0.29 LBS 132.0 g / 1.3 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.09 kg / 0.19 LBS 88.0 g / 0.9 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.04 kg / 0.10 LBS 44.0 g / 0.4 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.22 kg / 0.49 LBS 220.0 g / 2.2 N

When hanging a element on a upright wall (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on just approx. 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a low friction coefficient cause that products move down faster than they detach. Planning a vertical fastening? Remember that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slip down under a significantly smaller cargo. Using a rubber coating can effectively increase the grip.

A thin metal plate cannot take in the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. Should you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the magnetism will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To squeeze the maximum of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick element of metal. The saturation phenomenon causes that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the holder holds weaker. We advise picking the steel dimension based on the following data.

Classic neodymiums lose power above the temperature limit. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's capacity temporarily decreases. Do not use this magnet near heat sources exceeding its working range. Exceeding the critical threshold will result in irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Technical advisory: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Low-profile magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. Red status in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two magnets interact from a wider radius than a neodymium and metal combination. The connection of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a larger range of operation. Planning to create a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is massive. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Flux density for N-N configuration reaches ~0 Gs at the midpoint of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Figures demonstrate sliding force of dual matching magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

A strong magnetic field is a real danger to electronics as well as medical implants. These NdFeB products generate a field that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and glass. Increased vigilance must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, speakers, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are delicate – a violent impact against metal causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or injury to fingers. Always hold the magnet during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when handling with powerful specimens.

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*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) = 0.30

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 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.

Component MPL 5x5x1.2 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 0.44 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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. To separate the MPL 5x5x1.2 / 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 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.

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. 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 (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. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.44 kg (force ~4.28 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Strengths

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

They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is maximum,
Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
Key role in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force was defined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:

using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
whose thickness is min. 10 mm
characterized by smoothness
under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:

Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Life threat

Patients with a pacemaker must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.

GPS Danger

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Allergy Warning

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and select encased magnets.

Permanent damage

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Do not underestimate power

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Dust is flammable

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
