1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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.

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 5x5x1.5 mm and a weight of 0.28 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular 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 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 0.58 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. 0.58 kg), they are ideal as closers 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 5x5x1.5 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. 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 impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.58 kg (force ~5.68 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • In other words, due to the smooth layer of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom forming and adjusting to complex needs,
  • Huge importance in innovative solutions – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
No play value

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.

Life threat

Patients with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Nickel coating and allergies

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Data carriers

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
