1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.46
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.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the possibility of precise forming and customization to specialized projects, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Nickel coating and allergies
Some people have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
Product not for children
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
