1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.66
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.

Other products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- In view of the possibility of accurate molding and customization to individualized needs, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
ICD Warning
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Cards and drives
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Mechanical processing
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Allergy Warning
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
This is not a toy
Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
