1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, 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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to customize to complex applications,
- Wide application in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost 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, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from children
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Handling rules
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.
Combustion hazard
Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Phone sensors
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
