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. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.79
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 deals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom modeling as well as modifying to specific needs,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Data carriers
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Health Danger
People with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Operating temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. We recommend use safety gloves.
Fire warning
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Immense force
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Product not for children
Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
