1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.51
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the potential of flexible molding and customization to custom needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- 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, when using outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Impact on smartphones
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Adults only
Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Respect the power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Power loss in heat
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.
Implant safety
People with a ICD should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Flammability
Powder created during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Finger safety
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
