Pulling power weakens significantly per each millimeter of spacing. Keep in mind that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnets operate optimally in perfect adhesion; air break nullifies the force. Observe how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When planning the assembly, avoid redundant distances.

The table below indicates the approximate shear load necessary to start the shifting of the magnet down along a vertical steel plate (assuming typical friction). The holding force depends on the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (sliding) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 5x5x1 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.10 kg / 0.22 LBS 102.0 g / 1.0 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.07 kg / 0.15 LBS 68.0 g / 0.7 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.03 kg / 0.07 LBS 34.0 g / 0.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	0.17 kg / 0.37 LBS 170.0 g / 1.7 N

When placing a holder on a upright wall (e.g., a fridge), it will only hold barely approx. 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravity and a low friction coefficient cause that products slip faster than they pull off. Want to create a vertical fastening? Remember that the shear force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slide down under a much lighter load. Using a rubber layer can drastically increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	0.34 kg / 0.75 LBS 340.0 g / 3.3 N

A too thin steel is incapable of conduct the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the holder. Should you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the flux will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize full efficiency of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick element of metal. The saturation effect causes that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the magnet holds weaker. We advise picking the steel thickness from these parameters.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose power past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – excessive heat can irreversibly destroy this product. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's capacity temporarily lowers. Refrain from using this magnet in hot environments higher than its operating temperature limit. Too high temperature will cause permanent loss of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Flat magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. Warning indicator in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a neodymium and metal combination. The connection of magnet-to-magnet creates a more powerful interaction and a larger range of operation. Designing a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Exercise caution that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is extreme. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction for N-N configuration is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
* Calculations show shear force of two matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

A strong magnetic field poses a real danger to IT equipment and medical implants. These magnets generate a field that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Notice: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and plastic. Increased vigilance must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

NdFeB products are delicate – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can cause material chips or painful pinches to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when working with powerful specimens.

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

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26

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.

Model MPL 5x5x1 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This magnetic block with a force of 3.30 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.

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 0.34 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. 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 wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 5x5x1 / N38, we recommend utilizing 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).

Standardly, the MPL 5x5x1 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 1 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.

The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 5 mm (length), 5 mm (width), and 1 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.34 kg (force ~3.30 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:

They do not lose strength, even during around 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Due to the option of accurate shaping and customization to individualized projects, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in data components, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Cons

Cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals

To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend 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, when using outdoors
Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value conducted under specific, ideal conditions:

on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
whose thickness is min. 10 mm
with a plane cleaned and smooth
under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Real force is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):

Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

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 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets

Operating temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Flammability

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Hand protection

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

Respect the power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Life threat

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Material brittleness

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Keep away from computers

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Impact on smartphones

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.

This is not a toy

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.
