1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit 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.

Magnetic Field

Other products

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. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.58 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
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. 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. 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).
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. 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 high energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 5x5x1.5 mm and a self-weight of 0.28 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of custom machining and adjusting to concrete conditions,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 durability even at temperatures 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
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets 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 hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Please note that the magnet holding will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked 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 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Combustion hazard

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

Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.

Product not for children

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Finger safety

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
