1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 1.34
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with direct contact (without paint)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at room temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
GPS and phone interference
Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Magnetic media
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Product not for children
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
