1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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.

Field Strength

Other products

This product is a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 10x5x1.5 mm and a weight of 0.56 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This rectangular block with a force of 8.47 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. Additionally, 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. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 0.86 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 0.86 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
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 clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
Standardly, the MPL 10x5x1.5 / N38 model is magnetized through the thickness (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 (10x5 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.
This model is characterized by dimensions 10x5x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.56 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 10x5x1.5 mm and a self-weight of 0.56 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Magnets very well protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • In other words, due to the metallic finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of custom shaping and optimizing to specific conditions,
  • Key role in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Danger to the youngest

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Handling guide

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

GPS and phone interference

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Data carriers

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Allergic reactions

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Dust is flammable

Dust created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Do not overheat magnets

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

ICD Warning

Individuals with a heart stimulator must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Attention! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
