1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.33

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 80x40x15 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 721.75 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.
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 73.57 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of generators and material handling systems. They work great as fasteners 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.
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 80x40x15 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (dimension 15 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 (80x40 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 80x40x15 mm, which, at a weight of 360 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 73.57 kg (force ~721.75 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnets possess very high 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...
  • Possibility of custom machining as well as modifying to atypical requirements,
  • Significant place in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

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

Holding force of 73.57 kg is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with total lack of distance (without impurities)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

During everyday use, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Phone sensors

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Conscious usage

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Fragile material

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Operating temperature

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

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Serious injuries

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a ICD should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
