Magnetic force drops drastically with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) strongly reduces the pull force. Magnetic products hold most effectively at the point of direct contact; air break weakens the power. Notice how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When designing the mounting, eliminate redundant distances.

The table below defines the estimated shear load required to cause the shifting of the magnet down against a vertical steel wall (assuming typical friction coefficient). This parameter is relative to the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 5x5x1.5 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.17 kg / 0.38 pounds 174.0 g / 1.7 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.12 kg / 0.26 pounds 116.0 g / 1.1 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.06 kg / 0.13 pounds 58.0 g / 0.6 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.29 kg / 0.64 pounds 290.0 g / 2.8 N

When placing a holder on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it will maintain barely about 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravity and a weak degree of grip cause that products slip easier than they pop off the substrate. Designing a hanger? Consider that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the magnet will slip down under a much lighter cargo. Utilizing a rubberized coating can drastically raise the stability.

Table 4: Steel thickness (substrate influence) - sheet metal selection
MPL 5x5x1.5 / N38

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)
0.5 mm	10%	0.06 kg / 0.13 pounds 58.0 g / 0.6 N
1 mm	25%	0.15 kg / 0.32 pounds 145.0 g / 1.4 N
2 mm	50%	0.29 kg / 0.64 pounds 290.0 g / 2.8 N
3 mm	75%	0.43 kg / 0.96 pounds 435.0 g / 4.3 N
5 mm	100%	0.58 kg / 1.28 pounds 580.0 g / 5.7 N
10 mm	100%	0.58 kg / 1.28 pounds 580.0 g / 5.7 N
11 mm	100%	0.58 kg / 1.28 pounds 580.0 g / 5.7 N
12 mm	100%	0.58 kg / 1.28 pounds 580.0 g / 5.7 N

A thin sheet cannot conduct the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the holder. Should you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the magnetism will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation effect means that on delicate walls (e.g., car bodies), the magnet holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel dimension according to the table below.

Table 5: Working in heat (stability) - resistance threshold
MPL 5x5x1.5 / N38

Ambient temp. (°C)	Power loss	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status

40 °C	-2.2%	0.57 kg / 1.25 pounds 567.2 g / 5.6 N	OK

100 °C	-28.8%	0.41 kg / 0.91 pounds 413.0 g / 4.1 N

Standard neodymium magnets lose power after exceeding the maximum temperature. Watch out for overheating – heat can permanently destroy this magnet. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's capacity temporarily decreases. Refrain from using this magnet in hot environments higher than its safe range. Too high temperature will cause irreversible degradation of magnetism.

*Technical advisory: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Flat magnets (pancake types) may lose charge permanently sooner than taller cylinders. Warning indicator in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two magnets interact from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a wider radius of performance. Want to build a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*The magnetic induction in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Figures refer to sliding force of two matching neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Extremely neodym field is a serious hazard to IT equipment and medical implants. These magnets generate a flux that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the unseen radiation penetrates the body and glass. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, remotes, speakers, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or injury to fingers. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed means shattering of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when working with large magnets.

Warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 5x5x1.5 mm and a weight of 0.28 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 5.68 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Furthermore, 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 5x5x1.5 / 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. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.

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. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 5x5x1.5 / 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).

Standardly, the MPL 5x5x1.5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 1.5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. 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.

This model is characterized by dimensions 5x5x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.28 g, makes it an element with high energy density. 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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
In other words, due to the smooth surface of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
Magnets have exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the working surface,
Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
Possibility of accurate modeling and modifying to atypical applications,
Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in data components, drive modules, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, including:

using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
characterized by even structure
under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
at room temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:

Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Warning for heart patients

People with a heart stimulator should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Do not overheat magnets

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Machining danger

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Swallowing risk

These products are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
