1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.26

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.

Component MPL 60x10x5 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 18.16 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects 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 18.16 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.
Plate magnets MPL 60x10x5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 18.16 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 60x10x5 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (60x10 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. 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: 60 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 5 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 18.16 kg (force ~178.10 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the ability of free forming and customization to unique requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in computer drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In practice, the actual holding force depends on a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Machining danger

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Crushing force

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

ICD Warning

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Caution required

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

GPS and phone interference

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
