chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.30

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 10x4x1.5 / N38 features a flat shape and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. This rectangular block with a force of 8.65 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.
The key to success is shifting 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 10x4x1.5 / 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 generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.88 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x4x1.5 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Avoid chemically aggressive glues or hot glue, which can demagnetize neodymium (above 80°C).
Standardly, the MPL 10x4x1.5 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 1.5 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 (10x4 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), 4 mm (width), and 1.5 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 10x4x1.5 mm and a self-weight of 0.45 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the option of flexible molding and adaptation to unique requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 0.88 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Bear in mind that the application force will differ depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (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 converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Operating temperature

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Allergy Warning

Some people experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Phone sensors

An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Caution required

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Dust is flammable

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

Implant safety

Individuals with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
