1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.20
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- By using a decorative layer of nickel, the element gains an nice look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is strong,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact machining as well as adjusting to atypical requirements,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical devices, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Warnings
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Handling rules
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Allergy Warning
Some people have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Threat to electronics
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Do not give to children
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Precision electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
