1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom creating as well as optimizing to complex applications,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Handling rules
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Magnetic media
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.
Mechanical processing
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Beware of splinters
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Bodily injuries
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Nickel allergy
Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
