1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the critical limit 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 rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of exact machining as well as optimizing to specific conditions,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Medical interference
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Do not give to children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Immense force
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Phone sensors
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Dust is flammable
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Protect data
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
