1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.13
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 maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- Neodymium magnets ensure 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...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose force 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 extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Bone fractures
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Sensitization to coating
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
Medical interference
People with a ICD have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Powerful field
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
