1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits 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

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 10x10x10 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 37.71 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 3.84 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 10x10x10 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 3.84 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x10x10 / N38, it is best to use 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. 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 10x10x10 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 10 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. 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: 10 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 10 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 10x10x10 mm and a self-weight of 7.5 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • 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 exact modeling as well as optimizing to complex conditions,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The force parameter is a measurement result performed under the following configuration:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters 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 was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Handling rules

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

GPS Danger

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Mechanical processing

Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

Individuals with a heart stimulator must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Product not for children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Keep away from computers

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Serious injuries

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