1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.32
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- By using a decorative layer of nickel, the element has an elegant look,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the possibility of accurate forming and adaptation to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
This is not a toy
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Powerful field
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Heat sensitivity
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Life threat
Individuals with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Mechanical processing
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
