1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the critical 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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Induction

Component MPL 5x5x1 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.34 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures 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. To separate the MPL 5x5x1 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
Plate magnets MPL 5x5x1 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. 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. 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. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions 5x5x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.19 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
  • Magnets possess huge magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the potential of flexible molding and adaptation to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Do not overheat magnets

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Electronic devices

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

Immense force

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Dust is flammable

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Sensitization to coating

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We recommend use protective gloves.

Medical interference

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Impact on smartphones

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

Risk of cracking

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
