1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46

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.

Model MPL 5x5x2 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.77 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 0.77 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 5x5x2 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.77 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. 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 5x5x2 / 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 5x5x2 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 2 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 5x5x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.38 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.77 kg (force ~7.57 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a shiny coating of nickel, the element has an professional look,
  • Magnets are distinguished by excellent magnetic induction on the active area,
  • 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 precise shaping and modifying to specific requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are used in data components, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.77 kg is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In real-world applications, the real power depends on many variables, ranked from crucial:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Dust explosion hazard

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Crushing force

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Heat warning

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Immense force

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

This is not a toy

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Compass and GPS

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
