1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.13
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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even over nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to customize to client solutions,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
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.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important 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.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. 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 tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Powerful field
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Physical harm
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Phone sensors
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Danger to the youngest
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
