1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces 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 a very powerful plate magnet made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 10x7x3 mm and a weight of 1.58 g, guarantees the highest quality connection. This magnetic block with a force of 19.82 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.
Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. 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.
They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.
For mounting flat magnets MPL 10x7x3 / N38, it is best to use 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. Remember to clean and degrease the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.
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 (10x7 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), 7 mm (width), and 3 mm (thickness). 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • By applying a smooth layer of silver, the element has an modern look,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • 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 and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot 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 a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Demagnetization risk

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Machining danger

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Respect the power

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

No play value

Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Electronic hazard

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Important! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
