1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.26

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

Model MPL 5x5x1 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 3.30 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.
The key to success is shifting 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 0.34 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. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization 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).
Standardly, the MPL 5x5x1 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 1 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. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 5 mm (length), 5 mm (width), and 1 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 5x5x1 mm and a self-weight of 0.19 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the glossy surface of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual shaping as well as optimizing to atypical requirements,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing conducted under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Eye protection

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Crushing risk

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Fire warning

Powder generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Skin irritation risks

Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Health Danger

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

This is not a toy

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Cards and drives

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.

Handling rules

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
