1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.13
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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
- Significant place in future technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Hand protection
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
GPS and phone interference
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Fragile material
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
This is not a toy
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
