1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46

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.

Model MPL 10x10x4 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 30.39 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
The key to success is sliding the magnets along their largest connection plane (using e.g., the edge of a table), which is easier than trying to tear them apart directly. To separate the MPL 10x10x4 / 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
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 roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 10x10x4 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 4 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 (10x10 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: 10 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 4 mm (thickness). The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 3.10 kg (force ~30.39 N), which, with such a flat shape, proves the high grade of the material. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate forming as well as optimizing to atypical conditions,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and 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 advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • 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

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Skin irritation risks

Some people experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Respect the power

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Precision electronics

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Maximum temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Protective goggles

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Adults only

These products are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
