1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit 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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 10x10x3 mm and a weight of 2.25 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 2.32 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 10x10x3 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 10x10x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 2.32 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 10x10x3 / N38, it is best to use two-component adhesives (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. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (10x10 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
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 holding force amounting to approximately 2.32 kg (force ~22.77 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • By covering with a reflective coating of gold, the element acquires an aesthetic look,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Health Danger

Patients with a heart stimulator have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.

This is not a toy

These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Cards and drives

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Handling rules

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.

Keep away from electronics

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
