1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.23
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 and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed machining as well as adapting to specific applications,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their 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.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 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 plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
Do not drill into magnets
Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Risk of cracking
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Pinching danger
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Avoid contact if allergic
A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
Health Danger
Patients with a pacemaker have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Swallowing risk
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Power loss in heat
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Respect the power
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Phone sensors
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
