1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42

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.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 10x7x3 mm and a weight of 1.58 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 2.02 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects 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 10x7x3 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.
Plate magnets MPL 10x7x3 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. 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. 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. 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 10x7x3 mm, which, at a weight of 1.58 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 10x7x3 mm and a self-weight of 1.58 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even over approximately 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to the potential of accurate molding and adaptation to specialized projects, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they find application in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest use safety gloves.

Warning for heart patients

People with a pacemaker must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Mechanical processing

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Keep away from computers

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Hand protection

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Product not for children

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Immense force

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
