1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (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 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 an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 5x5x1 mm and a weight of 0.19 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 0.34 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.
The key to success is sliding 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. 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. 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 5x5x1 / 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. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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.
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 product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is maximum,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.34 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Adults only

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Fire risk

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

Permanent damage

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Skin irritation risks

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We recommend wear safety gloves.

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Serious injuries

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Conscious usage

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Material brittleness

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Medical implants

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
