1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of precise creating as well as adjusting to defined applications,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- in stable room temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Protect data
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Material brittleness
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Precision electronics
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Allergic reactions
Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear protective gloves.
Keep away from children
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.
