1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.22
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even over around 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
- In other words, due to the smooth surface of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains extremely intense,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual modeling as well as modifying to defined requirements,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 very resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- 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
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Product not for children
These products are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Allergic reactions
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.
Compass and GPS
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
