1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
- 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...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Beware of splinters
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Cards and drives
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Impact on smartphones
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Medical interference
People with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Skin irritation risks
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or select encased magnets.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Serious injuries
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
