1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, 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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the smooth surface of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- In view of the possibility of flexible molding and adaptation to unique solutions, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Choking Hazard
These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Powerful field
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Allergic reactions
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Finger safety
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Combustion hazard
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
