1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
- The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact forming and adapting to precise needs,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, 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 penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. We suggest use protective gloves.
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Bodily injuries
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Flammability
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Safe operation
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Medical implants
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
