*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.27

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 10x5x1.5 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it an ideal solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 0.86 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.
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. 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.
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. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x5x1.5 / 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).
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 (10x5 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), 5 mm (width), and 1.5 mm (thickness). 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
  • By covering with a decorative coating of nickel, the element gains an professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the potential of free forming and customization to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • 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.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, including:
  • with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity impacted by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Caution required

Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Keep away from electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Life threat

Patients with a heart stimulator must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Swallowing risk

These products are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Allergy Warning

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause a rash. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Heat sensitivity

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