Frequently asked questions

How much will a block magnet really hold?
The catalogue force is measured in full contact with smooth steel at least 10 mm thick, pulled perpendicular, at about 20 °C. On 1 mm sheet about 50% of that value remains, on 0.5 mm about 25%. Mounted on a vertical wall the realistic figure is 20–30%, because the load is then in shear rather than in tension.
What is the maximum working temperature?
Standard N-series grades up to 80 °C, and N50, N52 and N54 up to 60 °C. Above the maximum working temperature the loss stops being reversible. The Curie temperature, at which magnetic properties are lost completely, is about 310 °C.
What safety factor should I allow?
At least twice the mass of the item, and three to five times for vertical mounting. The margin covers sheet thickness, surface condition, any layer of paint or rust, and vibration.

1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.84

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 a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 6x6x6 mm and a weight of 1.62 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 1.38 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 strong flat 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 1.38 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts 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 6x6x6 / N38, we recommend utilizing strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. 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 (6x6 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 6 mm (length), 6 mm (width), and 6 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 6x6x6 mm and a self-weight of 1.62 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of custom shaping and modifying to complex needs,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Holding force of 1.38 kg is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, ranked from most significant:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Handling guide

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

Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Combustion hazard

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Avoid contact if allergic

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Caution! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
