1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.24
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the metallic surface of nickel, the element looks attractive,
- Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At very 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.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Fire risk
Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Immense force
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
