1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces 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) = 0.36
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 as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- In other words, due to the smooth finish of nickel, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the ability of free shaping and adaptation to individualized needs, magnetic components can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely 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
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk 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 magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (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).
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Pinching danger
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Do not give to children
These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.
Nickel allergy
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Health Danger
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Heat sensitivity
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Powerful field
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
