1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
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.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even after nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, 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 form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom shaping as well as optimizing to individual requirements,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) 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 much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause dermatitis. We suggest use safety gloves.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Powerful field
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
Life threat
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
GPS and phone interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Magnetic media
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
This is not a toy
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
