1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens 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) = 1.66
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even after nearly ten years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- By covering with a shiny layer of silver, the element presents an nice look,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in shaping and the ability to customize to client solutions,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose 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 rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Operating temperature
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Threat to electronics
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Precision electronics
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Medical interference
People with a pacemaker have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Safe operation
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Crushing risk
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
This is not a toy
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Fire risk
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
