1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 60x20x10 / N38 features a flat shape and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 349.34 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.
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 35.61 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 60x20x10 / 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.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 60x20x10 / 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. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 60x20x10 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 10 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 (60x20 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 60x20x10 mm, which, at a weight of 90 g, makes it an element with high energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 35.61 kg (force ~349.34 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over around ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external fields,
  • By using a decorative layer of nickel, the element gains an nice look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • In view of the possibility of accurate forming and customization to unique requirements, magnetic components can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Key role in future technologies – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

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

Holding force of 35.61 kg is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. 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 optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Heat warning

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Precision electronics

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Implant safety

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Hand protection

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

No play value

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Safe distance

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
