1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.27

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.

Component MPL 10x5x1.5 / N38 features a low profile and industrial pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.86 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 0.86 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.
Plate magnets MPL 10x5x1.5 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as filters catching filings and linear motors. They work great as invisible mounts under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools 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. 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 10x5x1.5 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 1.5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. 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. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.86 kg (force ~8.47 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high power of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to unique solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Holding force of 0.86 kg is a theoretical maximum value performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide 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 penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Powerful field

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Shattering risk

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Magnetic interference

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Magnetic media

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

Danger to the youngest

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Pinching danger

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.

Metal Allergy

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.

Life threat

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Flammability

Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
