1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.36

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 5x5x1.5 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 5.68 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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 5x5x1.5 / 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. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.58 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. 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. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 5 mm (length), 5 mm (width), and 1.5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.58 kg (force ~5.68 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise creating and adjusting to defined requirements,
  • Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • 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
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Keep away from children

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Crushing risk

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Avoid contact if allergic

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Precision electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Material brittleness

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Safe operation

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Data carriers

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
