1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24
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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed creating and optimizing to precise conditions,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 extremely resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.
No play value
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Protect data
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
