1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.36

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

View also products

Model MPL 10x10x3 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 2.32 kg), this product is available immediately 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 2.32 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. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 2.32 kg), they are ideal as closers 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 10x10x3 / 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. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. 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 3 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.32 kg (force ~22.77 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to customize to complex applications,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, and industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Safe distance

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Choking Hazard

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

Handling rules

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.

Life threat

Patients with a ICD must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Flammability

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Permanent damage

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Phone sensors

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
