1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26
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.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic finish of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are used in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Pinching danger
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Respect the power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Allergic reactions
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
GPS Danger
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
