1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46
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 products
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact shaping as well as modifying to precise needs,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Disadvantages
- At 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.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Protect data
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Risk of cracking
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
No play value
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Allergy Warning
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.
Permanent damage
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Safe operation
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Fire risk
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
